I love the picture on the front of my copy of Thomas Mann's Joseph and his Brothers. In particular I love the scornful expressi9on on the face of that little squirt with the unfortunate bum on the left there. Joseph has reached his lowest point ever when even the little squirt can despise him.

 

The picture is by Johann Friedrich Overbeck, who seems to have been a sort of German Pre-Raphaelite.

Like Mann, he came from Lübeck.
