Yusuf and Zulaykha meeting, c. 1764. Creator: Unknown

Yusuf and Zulaykha meeting, c. 1764. Joseph, called Yusuf in Arabic and Persian sources, had been thrown into a well by his jealous older brothers. Although his eldest brother intended to return and rescue him, Joseph was taken by a caravan and brought to Egypt to be sold as a slave. When Zulaykha saw Joseph in the market, she recognized him as the lover she had seen in her dreams since childhood and so purchased him for herself. When read as a religious allegory, Zulaykhas passionate desire for Joseph is interpreted as the yearning of the soul to be joined with the perfect beauty of God
