Jacob wrestling with the angel

Jacob, clothed in a red cloak, is held by a calm, winged figure in a white tunic. The two figures are set in a tight diagonal against an earth-toned, indistinct background, with strong light illuminating the faces and upper bodies, creating stark chiaroscuro. The painting typifies Rembrandt's mature Baroque style with textured brushwork, warm browns, ochres, and reds, and a contemplative, spiritual mood.
