Englen åbenbarer sig for Josef is a 1803 by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a man sitting in a chair, looking down and to the left. He has dark hair and a beard, and is wearing a dark robe. To his right, an angel is pointing down at him. The angel has light hair and is wearing a light-colored robe. The angel's gesture seems to be guiding the man's attention to something outside the frame. The man's expression is contemplative, as if he is deep in thought. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting.
