Der Engel erscheint Jacob im Traume 

"Der Engel erscheint Jacob im Traume" is a drawing by Ferdinand Bol, a Dutch painter known for his portraits and history paintings. This work depicts a scene from the biblical story of Jacob, who dreamt of a ladder reaching to heaven with angels ascending and descending. The angel, depicted in the drawing, appears to Jacob as he rests in a landscape. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes strong contrasts between light and dark, enhances the dramatic nature of the scene. This drawing exemplifies Bol's skill in capturing the human figure and the subtleties of light and shadow, highlighting his artistic talent within the Dutch Baroque tradition.
