Jozef biedt zijn broers een feestmaal aan 1645 - 1740

This etching by Christoffel van (II) Sichem titled *Jozef biedt zijn broers een feestmaal aan* (c. 1645-1740) depicts the biblical scene of Joseph hosting a lavish feast for his brothers, as described in the Book of Genesis. The brothers are seated at a table, while Joseph is shown pouring a drink from a pitcher. The composition emphasizes the elaborate feast as a symbol of Joseph's wealth and power. The black and white print is a fine example of the use of etching for religious illustration during the Dutch Golden Age. The artist, Christoffel van Sichem, was active in Amsterdam during the 17th century and was known for his engravings and woodcuts.
