"Jozef en de vrouw van Potifar" is a lithograph by Julien-Léopold Boilly created between 1824 and 1856. The artwork depicts a scene from the biblical story of Joseph, who resists the advances of Potiphar's wife. Boilly's lithograph captures the dramatic tension of the moment as Joseph, in a loose robe, pushes away Potiphar's wife who sits on a bed with her hand on his chest. The lithograph is a striking example of Boilly's skill in capturing human emotion and drama. Boilly was a French artist known for his genre paintings, portraits, and lithographs.
