介绍（中）	这幅由扬·德·布雷（Jan de Bray）签名并注明日期的小素描描绘了创世记第31章中的一个场景。拉结坐在地上，隐藏着她丈夫雅各布不知道的偶像，她从她父亲拉班的家里偷来面对这对夫妇。德布雷通过手势和肢体语言传达了他们口头交流的强度。拉班站直了身子，指着一个指责的手指。雅各布抓住岳父的手腕，身体向前的运动和伸出的手臂传达了他捍卫家人的真诚和愤怒，而瑞秋则漫不经心地伸出张开的手掌，为她无法站立找借口。仆人和孩子们聚精会神地看着冲突的展开。这幅画是一幅快速素描，可能是为一幅画做准备而画的。德布雷可能知道彼得·拉斯特曼（Pieter Lastman）1622年的主题画作（滨海布洛涅博物馆），这幅画与该画具有某些共同点，特别是对拉班的描绘。然而，德布雷减少了附属人物的数量，这与更动态的手势相结合，使叙事更加清晰。他还为瑞秋穿上了更精致的礼服，以符合十七世纪后期的品味。虽然不知道他亲手画过这个主题，但他大概是在脑海中投射出一幅素描的情况下绘制的。（JSS， 8/24/2018）
介绍（英）	This small, signed and dated sketch by Jan de Bray depicts a scene from chapter 31 of Genesis. Rachel sits on the ground, concealing the idols she, unbeknownst to her husband, Jacob, stole from the home of her father, Laban, who has come to confront the couple. De Bray conveys the intensity of their verbal exchange through gesture and body language. Laban stands upright and points an accusatory finger. Jacob grabs his father-in-law's wrist, the forward motion of his body and his outstretched arms conveying the earnestness and anger with which he defends his family, while Rachel nonchalantly extends an open palm and makes her false excuse for being unable to stand. Servants and children watch intently as the conflict unfolds. The drawing is a quick sketchprobably made in preparation for a painting. De Bray may have known Pieter Lastman’s 1622 painting of the subject (Musée Boulogne-sur-Mer), with which the present drawing shares certain elements, in particular the portrayal of Laban. De Bray, however, reduced the number of subsidiary figures, which in combination with the more dynamic gestures makes for greater narrative clarity. He also costumed Rachel in a more refined gown, in keeping with later seventeenth-century taste. Although no painting of this subject by his hand is known, he presumably made the sketch with a projected picture in mind. (JSS, 8/24/2018)
