Painted landscape: a winged angel wrestles a man on a dirt path, with a fallen figure at lower left and a hilltop town under a cloudy sky.

Jacob worstelt met de engel

A winged angel grapples with a man in a red coat on a winding dirt path through a wooded, hilly landscape. At lower left a figure lies sprawled beside a staff, while a hilltop town glows under a warm, cloudy sky.

Español: Jacob lucha con el ángel

Un ángel alado forcejea con un hombre de abrigo rojo por un sendero de tierra que serpentea entre un paisaje boscoso y montañoso. En la parte inferior izquierda, una figura yace desplomada junto a un bastón, mientras un pueblo en lo alto de una colina brilla bajo un cielo nublado y cálido.

Português: Jacó luta com o anjo

Um anjo alado agarra-se com um homem de casaco vermelho em uma trilha de terra que serpenteia por uma paisagem arborizada e montanhosa. No canto inferior esquerdo, uma figura jaz caída ao lado de um cajado, enquanto uma cidade no alto de uma colina brilha sob um céu nublado e quente.
