Painting of a sleeping nude man on a red cloth beside a spaniel, with a ladder and small figures rising into a stormy sky at upper left.

Jacobs droom

A nude man sleeps stretched across an orange-red cloth draped over a rock, one arm bent behind his head, beside a brown-and-white spaniel. Behind him, under a dark wooded canopy and a stormy sky, a ladder rises at upper left with tiny figures climbing along its rungs.

Español: El sueño de Jacob (Jacobs droom), Ary de Vois

Un hombre desnudo duerme tendido sobre una tela rojiza anaranjada extendida sobre una roca, con un brazo doblado tras la cabeza, junto a un spaniel blanco y castaño. Detrás, bajo un follaje oscuro y un cielo tormentoso, una escalera se eleva en la esquina superior izquierda con pequeñas figuras subiendo por sus peldaños.

Português: O sonho de Jacó (Jacobs droom), Ary de Vois

Um homem nu dorme estendido sobre um tecido laranja-avermelhado drapeado sobre uma rocha, com um braço dobrado atrás da cabeça, ao lado de um spaniel branco e castanho. Atrás dele, sob uma copa de árvores escura e um céu tempestuoso, uma escada sobe no canto superior esquerdo com pequenas figuras subindo pelos degraus.
