Joseph Interprets the Dreams While In Prison 1902

"Joseph Interprets the Dreams While In Prison" (1902) by James Tissot (1836-1902) depicts a scene from the biblical story of Joseph. The artwork showcases Joseph, a young man imprisoned in Egypt, interpreting the dreams of two fellow prisoners, one lying on a cot and the other seated. The painting is a fine example of Tissot's meticulous detail and lifelike depiction of biblical scenes, which he undertook in the latter half of his career.
