Introduction
"Joseph: A Pictorial" is a series of drawings by New-York-based Dutch artist Shoshannah Brombacher, based on the Biblical stories about Joseph, the son of the patriarch Jacob, who was sold by his brothers a slave and taken to Egypt.
There he advised the Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, how to prevent a famine in the country and was appointed viceroy and ruler over the land.
Subsequently, his brothers were sent to Egypt by their father to buy food. Joseph recognized them but they did not recognize him. He accuses them of being spies, forces them to bring their youngest brother, Benjamin, to Egypt, and test their loyalty to each other. At the end Joseph is reconciled with his brothers, and Jacob and his whole family came to live in Egypt. (Genesis 37– 50)
