Description: Joseph flees from Potiphar’s wife leaving his tunic in her hands, as she attempts to seduce him. An engraver’s knife and initials (I.L.C.T. = Iacobus Lucius Corona Transylvanus) are in the upper right. The date of the woodcut and perhaps the initials of the artist are at the foot of the bed.
