Joseph sold by his brothers

About this work

This painting shows a group of people in a landscape. Some are standing, others are kneeling or sitting on the ground. They're all wearing colorful clothing, and some have hats or head coverings. In the background, there are hills and trees, and a few animals like sheep and horses. One interesting detail is the way the people are arranged in the scene. They seem to be gathered around something or someone, but it's not clear what's happening. The colors and clothing suggest a specific time period, but it's hard to say exactly when or where this scene is taking place. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to look up the work of Master of Affligem.
