## Commentary

Best known for his paintings with a historical subject, Jacobsz. painted several landscapes with biblical staffage, such as this characteristic work depicting Joseph&#39;s brothers on the road from Egypt held by the centurion and his soldiers \(GENESIS, 44: 5-6\). These pictures closely relate to works by the pre-Rembrandtists, such as Pieter Lastman, Nicolaes Moeyaert and Jacob Pynas.
