Woman in pink on a canopied bed holds cloth; a turbaned man in gold stands at right, a younger man gestures at left.

Joseph Accused by Potiphar's Wife

A woman in a pink silk robe sits on a canopied bed in a dim interior, clutching a garment to her chest as a turbaned man in gold brocade stands at right and a younger man in dark clothing gestures at left. Rembrandt's 1655 painting uses warm light against deep shadows, capturing an accusation with dramatic tension.
