The painting shows a scene where Jozef is thrown into a waterput by his brothers. This scene is depicted in a style similar to Flemish Primitives, with detailed and realistic figures. The style is interesting because it's from a time when art was becoming more realistic. You can learn more about this style by looking up the technique of sfumato.
