Жена Потифара и Иосиф

Joseph stands in an Egyptian household chamber before Potiphar’s wife, who reclines on a cushioned bed adorned with jewelry and fine linen. The palace setting, serving tray, curtains, and Egyptian ornamentation place the moment inside the house where Joseph served as steward. Her inviting posture contrasts with Joseph’s guarded stance, capturing the temptation described in Genesis 39 when she urged him to sin against his master and against God. Joseph’s refusal becomes a portrait of covenant integrity under pressure: he honors both human trust and divine holiness, choosing righteousness even when it leads to false accusation and suffering. This artwork is suited for teaching on temptation, sexual purity, faithfulness, and the providence of God in Joseph’s life.
