About the painting
This painting, by an unknown 18th-century artist, of Joseph being sold into slavery by his brothers, may be a copy of a tapestry. Tapestries were usually made from full-scale painted designs (cartoons); this picture would appear to reverse that process, taking a tapestry as the model for a painting.
