Oil painting on canvas. Venetian school of the eighteenth century. The painting depicts the biblical episode taken from the book of Genesis, in which Joseph\'s brothers, jealous of their father Jacob\'s predilection for him, sell him a slave to merchants who go to Egypt and declare to their father that he is dead: they wear on trial the tunic soiled with the blood of an animal, that special tunic that Jacob had made specially weave for his beloved son. In this representation, in which the vivid colors underline the drama, the intense movement of the old patriarch stands out, who, disfigured in pain in the face, tries to keep that stained fabric away from himself, moving his whole body to the left and extending his arm. not to allow her to approach him, almost an attempt to deny the evidence. On the right, the group of three brothers, close together in an accomplice attitude, who tell and point to each other the paternal drama. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a re-adapted antique frame.
