Jacob dreams of the heavenly ladder; he consecrates with oil the spot where he slept; he meets Rachel, who is tending sheep in the vicinity of a Mesopotamian city. Woodcut by S.H., 1568, after V. Solis.
A woodcut framed by an ornamental border shows a sleeping figure on the ground with a ladder rising into clouds where angelic figures appear. In the background, a shepherd tends sheep near a walled city with towers, and a stone is set up in the foreground.
