The Reconciliation of Jacob and Laban is a 1590 oil by Paolo Fiammingo, a Mannerism work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
This painting depicts a scene with four men in the foreground, gathered around a table with food and drink. One man is kneeling, while the others sit or stand nearby. A donkey is shown in the left foreground, carrying a large sack. In the background, a small house and trees are visible, set against a serene body of water.
