Jozef legt aan Jakob zijn tweede droom uit 1628

Nicolaes de Bruyn's "Jozef legt aan Jakob zijn tweede droom uit" (1628) is an etching depicting the biblical story of Joseph interpreting his second dream to his father Jacob. The scene is set indoors, with a group of figures gathered around Jacob and Joseph. The detailed, linear style of the etching is characteristic of de Bruyn's work, which was heavily influenced by the Renaissance tradition. The composition is dynamic, with figures arranged in a way that creates a sense of movement and narrative flow. De Bruyn was a master of this technique, which allowed him to create realistic and engaging scenes. The work can be found at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
