This is a grayscale image of an old etching or engraving. The scene depicted is biblical in nature, as suggested by the Latin inscription at the bottom and the overall style of the illustration. We see two primary figures in the foreground: one appears to be a man lying down with his head resting on a rock, possibly asleep or in distress (this may represent the biblical character Jacob), while another figure is seen standing over to the right, possibly an angel given the context. Above the sleeping figure are stairs or a ladder reaching into the heavens where more figures that look like angels are ascending and descending, which aligns with the biblical story of Jacob's Ladder from the Book of Genesis. In the background, on the left side, there is a crescent moon in the sky and a landscape that includes a small village or settlement. To the right, a massive cloud of smoke is rising, suggesting a fire or some destruction. The artist has signed the work at the bottom right. The paper shows signs of ageing and staining. This plate likely comes from a published book or bible dating back several centuries, given the traditional iconography and the Latin text, which was common in scholarly or religious works of the early modern period.

The image is an artistic depiction of a biblical scene often referred to as "Jacob's Ladder." In the foreground, a man, presumably Jacob, is reclining and asleep on the ground, resting his head on a stone. His posture suggests he is dreaming or having a vision. In the background, the central focus is a large ladder or staircase extending from the earth toward the sky, into the heavens. The ladder is surrounded by clouds and several angels ascending and descending on it. At the top of the ladder, there is a radiant light, indicating a divine presence or the heavens. The landscape around Jacob is detailed, showing rolling hills, a distant city, and a crescent moon in the night sky, emphasizing that this is a nocturnal vision. The overall tone of the artwork is mystical and serene, highlighting the spiritual and divine nature of the dream Jacob is experiencing. Beneath the image is some Latin text: "Vidi Jacob in somnis scalam super terram, usq. ad coelum: & Angeios ascendes & descendentes, & Dominum innixu scalis. Gen. XXVIII." This translates to "Jacob saw in his sleep a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. Gen. XXVIII," referencing the biblical chapter and verse from the Book of Genesis that describes Jacob's Ladder.

This is a historical engraving or print that appears to depict Jacob's Dream from the Bible (Genesis 28). The scene shows a figure sleeping on the ground near some rocks, while in the background there is a dramatic vision of a ladder or stairway extending up into the clouds. Angels can be seen ascending and descending the ladder, which reaches toward heaven. The composition includes dark, dramatic clouds and a crescent moon in the sky. The style suggests this is likely from the 16th or 17th century, with detailed cross-hatching techniques typical of engravings from that period. There appears to be text in Latin below the image, which was common for religious prints of this era. The scene captures the famous biblical moment where Jacob has a dream of angels moving between heaven and earth on a celestial ladder, representing the connection between the divine and mortal realms. The artistic rendering emphasizes the supernatural and dramatic nature of this vision through its use of contrast and dynamic composition.

This black and white etching depicts a fantastical scene from the Bible. In the foreground, Jacob wrestles with an angel, their figures intertwined in a dramatic struggle. Jacob appears to be straining with great effort while the angel, whose wings billow out behind, grapples with him. The composition includes swirling smoke or clouds adding to the otherworldly, spiritual atmosphere. In the background, a ziggurat-like structure rises up, perhaps representing Jacob's dream of a ladder to heaven which preceded this wrestling match. The detailed linework creates rich textures and a sense of energy and motion in this imaginative interpretation of the Biblical story.

The image appears to be an engraved illustration depicting a dramatic, mythological or allegorical scene. In the foreground, a figure lies reclining on the ground, appearing distressed or pained. In the background, there is an elaborate architectural structure with figures standing on steps or platforms, surrounded by swirling cloud-like forms. The overall scene has a dark, foreboding atmosphere with ominous-looking clouds in the sky. The engraved style and use of chiaroscuro (light and shadow) create a moody, atmospheric quality to the image.

The image is a black and white engraving of a scene depicting a man lying on the ground, with a group of people in the background. The man is dressed in ancient Greek attire, including a toga and sandals, and appears to be in a state of distress or exhaustion. He is lying on his back, with his head tilted upwards and his arms stretched out to the sides. In the background, there are several figures, including a woman who appears to be flying or falling from the sky. She is dressed in a flowing robe and has her arms outstretched, as if she is trying to reach out to the man on the ground. There are also several other figures in the background, including a man who is standing on a rocky outcropping and another man who is crouched down beside the first man. The overall atmosphere of the image is one of drama and tension. The use of dark shading and dramatic poses creates a sense of urgency and importance, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure of the man on the ground. The image appears to be a scene from a larger narrative, possibly a mythological or biblical story. The engraving itself is well-executed, with fine lines and detailed textures that add depth and dimension to the image. The use of a limited color palette, with only black and white tones, creates a sense of simplicity and elegance, allowing the viewer to focus on the composition and narrative of the scene. Overall, the image is a powerful and evocative work of art that invites the viewer to explore its many layers of meaning and symbolism.

The overall atmosphere of the image suggests a sense of drama and tension, as if the man is witnessing a significant event or revelation. The illustration is rendered in a classical style, with intricate details and shading that give it a sense of depth and texture. The use of dark clouds and dramatic lighting adds to the sense of drama and tension, creating a powerful and evocative image.
