Joseph Telling his Dreams
Using loose brushstrokes, Rembrandt sketched Joseph telling his dreams to his parents and brothers. That they do not believe him is clear from their poses and facial expressions. Rembrandt made this rough oil sketch as a preparatory study for a large print, which, however, was never executed. The fact that this study has been preserved is remarkable, since much working material was lost over the course of time.
