c. 1633. Bartsch's second and final state; Usticke's third state of four. A fine impression, probably issued by J.M. Creery in “A Collection of 200 Original Etchings,” London, 1816. Signed in the plate lower right Rembrandt/van.Ryn-fe.

Joseph was seized by his brothers and sold to some merchants as a slave. They then dipped his coat in the blood of a kid, and brought it to their father, telling him that they had found it that way in the desert. Jacob could only conclude that Joseph had been devoured by wild beasts. He fell into an inconsolable depression (Genesis 37:31-34).
