Genesis 39:6-12 (NLT)
6 So Potiphar gave Joseph complete administrative responsibility over everything he owned. With Joseph there, he didn’t worry about a thing—except what kind of food to eat!
Joseph was a very handsome and well-built young man, 7 and Potiphar’s wife soon began to look at him lustfully. “Come and sleep with me,” she demanded.
8 But Joseph refused. “Look,” he told her, “my master trusts me with everything in his entire household. 9 No one here has more authority than I do. He has held back nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How could I do such a wicked thing? It would be a great sin against God.”
10 She kept putting pressure on Joseph day after day, but he refused to sleep with her, and he kept out of her way as much as possible.
11 One day, however, no one else was around when he went in to do his work. 12 She came and grabbed him by his cloak, demanding, “Come on, sleep with me!” Joseph tore himself away, but he left his cloak in her hand as he ran from the house.

DRAWING NOTES:

TIME OF DAY:
Unspecified I the Bible text. I have set this scene in the afternoon.

LIGHTING NOTES:
The sun (high in the sky) illuminates this scene, casting vague shadows below & to the left of figures & objects.

CHARACTERS PRESENT:
Potiphar’s wife is standing in the main doorway of Potiphar’s house, while Joseph is running from her.

RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This scene shows Joseph running out of Potiphar’s house. Potiphar’s wife (looking angry at Joseph’s rejection of her) is tightly gripping Joseph’s outer robe; as he runs away it is coming away in her hand.

Notice that in the background the Nile river can be seen, with the same crocodile god statue [1] & gravel pathway leading from the river to the house that can be seen in the previous scene, Genesis 39 – Joseph in Potiphar’s house – Scene 01 – Joseph succeeds.

Here’s the scene without the figures in the foreground.

[1]
The stone man/crocodile statue on a pedestal near the river, which is Sobek (also called Sebek or Sobki, Coptic: ????, romanized: Souk) who was an ancient Egyptian deity with a complex and elastic history and nature. He is associated with the Nile crocodile or the West African crocodile and is represented either in its form or as a human with a crocodile head (as in my picture).
