Joseph and Potiphar's Wife is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a woman sitting on a chair, half-dressed with one arm resting on her knee. A man stands beside her, dressed in loose robes, holding a scroll. The background is dark, almost like a shadowy curtain, while the figures stand out in lighter tones. The woman’s pose looks tense, and the man’s posture is calm. The lighting creates strong contrasts between light and dark, making the figures pop. This style is called *chiaroscuro*.
