This is a scene from the Book of Genesis Chapter 41 in which the Pharaoh dreams of seven starving cattle and seven healthy cattle, as prophesied by Joseph. There is Old German text on the reverse and it is known that Lemberger produced a series of illustrations for the Bible produced during 1522-25; there is every likelihood therefore that this print came from one of these Bibles
Bible / book illustration; Pharaoh sits upright in a four poster bed, with decorative canopy, in a building with open arches. Outside are a herd of cattle and hills in the distance. Pharaoh has a crown and chalice by his bedside. Early woodcut demonstrating good understanding of perspective. Thin black border
