Benjamin is a 1585 ink by Jan Sadeler I, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
A young man stands on a grassy hill, holding a red bow and arrow. His left hand lifts an arrow to his mouth, while his right hand rests on the bow. He wears a blue and gold cloak over a white tunic, with red boots and a belt. Behind him, a small city with buildings and a tower sits on a hill. To the left, two tiny figures—one kneeling, one standing—are barely visible. The name "Ioseph" is written above his head, and Latin text runs along the bottom. The colors are bright but faded, with green grass and a pale sky. This is a hand-colored engraving, which means the artist carved lines into metal to print the image.
