Description:
Joseph, on the left wearing a red mantle, interprets the dreams of two other male figures (the pharaoh's baker and the butler). The scene is illuminated by a candle, which is blocked from view by the butler's left arm, while the silver holder is visible beneath; the very tip of the flame is visible above the sleeve of his upper arm.
