Description: | Signed: yes Description: Barent Graat spent his entire career in Amsterdam. The warm, earthy tonality and strong modelling of the figures in this biblical scene are characteristic of the works he produced in the 1680s. The painting illustrates an episode from the book of Genesis. Graat emphasised the domestic and genre elements of the story by setting the scene in the courtyard of a seventeenth-century Dutch town house. Rachel is endowed with the looks and deportment of a pretty maid. | Subjects: | Jacob(?) Rebekah(?)) religion (Rachel (?)
