About the piece

Painted by Dutch Golden Age artist Ary de Vois around 1670, this serene work depicts the biblical scene of Jacob’s Dream. The composition features a masterfully rendered reclining figure resting alongside a curled spaniel, set against a dark woodland backdrop where a celestial ladder rises toward a golden horizon.
