Jacob and Laban with Rachel and Leah (recto)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sketch of four figures. Two men and two women are drawn in reddish-brown pencil on aged paper. The man on the left faces right and is leaning slightly forward; he wears a long-sleeved shirt and a cloth wrapped around his waist. The woman next to him faces forward and extends her left arm across her body towards the woman on the right; she wears a long dress and has her hair pulled back. The woman on the right holds a stick in her right hand and faces left; she wears a long dress. The man on the right faces left and leans on a stick held in his right hand; he wears a long robe and a head covering. A dog is drawn between the two men. The background is a plain, off-white color with some darker spots and discoloration. The drawing style is reminiscent of classical or biblical scenes. The title of the work is "Jacob and Laban with Rachel and Leah".
