Jacob's Ladder, woodcut from Biblische Figuren
A woodcut in fine parallel hatching shows a sleeping man stretched on the ground with his head on a stone, while a ladder rises through clouds toward a radiant light. Shepherds tend sheep in the middle distance, and a walled town and trees frame the scene.
