Horlogekast met Potifars vrouw en Jozef 1661 - 1726

This anonymous engraving, titled "Horlogekast met Potifars vrouw en Jozef," depicts a scene from the biblical story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife. Created between 1661 and 1726, the print shows Joseph resisting the advances of Potiphar's wife, a popular subject in Dutch art. The central circular composition is framed by two ornate panels, suggesting the design for a clock case. The work is a prime example of the use of biblical narratives in Dutch decorative arts, reflecting the cultural and religious values of the time. This piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and stands as a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of an unknown Dutch engraver.
