Plate 11: Joseph

Jacob de Gheyn II

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a man with a long beard and hair, wearing a turban and a robe. He sits at a desk with his right hand on what appears to be a jug or vase. His left arm rests on the desk, which holds a stack of papers or books. A shelf behind him features an object with curved handles. The background shows an outdoor scene with a tree, a domed structure, and a sky with a sun or moon and stars. The image is rendered in black and white, with a border around the edges. Text at the bottom includes a name, "JÖSEPHVS," and additional writing in a foreign language.
