About this work

You see two figures in a simple scene, one kneeling and the other standing. The kneeling figure is Joseph, and the story is from the Bible. This drawing is interesting because it's done on the back of another work, which was a common practice to save paper. Check out the work of artist: Italian 17th Century to see more like this.
