Painting of a winged angel embracing a bearded man in a red tunic against a dark brown background.

Jacob wrestling with the angel

A winged angel with curly hair in a loose white shirt embraces a bearded man in a red tunic and patterned sash, who leans back with his head turned toward the angel. Thick, loose brushwork and a dark brown, earthy background give the scene a painterly, shadowy glow.
