Español: El sueño de José, Rembrandt, 1645

Un ángel alado desciende por un interior sombrío hacia un hombre barbado arrodillado con un bastón, mientras una mujer con manto azul reposa a la derecha. La pintura al óleo de tonos marrones y los reflejos cálidos, como de vela, definen las figuras frente a un muro de piedra y una puerta en penumbra.

Português: O Sonho de José, Rembrandt, 1645

Um anjo alado desce por um interior sombrio em direção a um homem barbudo ajoelhado com um cajado, enquanto uma mulher de manto azul repousa à direita. A pintura a óleo de tons marrons e realces quentes, semelhantes à luz de vela, destaca as figuras contra uma parede de pedra e uma porta na penumbra.
