"Jozefs droom," a 1931 print by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout, depicts a biblical scene. The artwork shows Joseph resting as an angel appears before him. The composition is striking with the angel dominating the foreground. The monochrome palette highlights the detail of the figures and the scene, which has been interpreted as Joseph being visited by an angel in a dream, foreshadowing the future. The work is currently held in the Rijksmuseum.
