About the piece

Attributed to an unknown 18th-century artist following a 16th-century Italian model, this painting captures the psychological tension of the biblical encounter between Joseph and Potiphar's wife. The work showcases masterful technique in the rendering of luxurious materials, from the deep green velvet of Joseph's tunic to the delicate pearls and lace worn by the woman, all set against a dark, atmospheric background.
