Twee scènes uit de historie van Jozef 1677 - 1755

"Twee scènes uit de historie van Jozef" (Two Scenes from the History of Joseph), a drawing by Elias van Nijmegen, depicts two scenes from the biblical story of Joseph. The left panel shows Joseph, seated on a throne, receiving homage from others. The right panel shows a more intimate scene with figures in conversation. The artist, known for his work in the Baroque style, uses quick, gestural lines to create a sense of movement and energy in this preliminary sketch, which is characteristic of his style. The drawing, created between 1677 and 1755, is a valuable insight into van Nijmegen’s creative process.
