"Joseph Being Retrieved from the Well and Sold to the Ishmaelites" is a 15th-century miniature painting by French artist Jean Colombe. It is part of a richly illuminated manuscript known as the "Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry," which is one of the most famous and luxurious Books of Hours from the medieval period. The manuscript was commissioned by John, Duke of Berry, and created by the Limbourg brothers, with Colombe completing the work after their deaths.

The miniature depicts a scene from the biblical story of Joseph, as recounted in the Book of Genesis. In this narrative, Joseph is betrayed by his jealous brothers, who throw him into a well and later decide to sell him to a group of passing Ishmaelite merchants. Colombe's illustration captures the moment when Joseph is pulled from the well and presented to the merchants, highlighting the dramatic emotions and interactions between the characters.

Jean Colombe is known for his detailed and vibrant style, and this work is no exception. It showcases his skill in composition and his ability to convey narrative through art. The painting is characterized by its intricate detail, use of rich colors, and the depiction of elaborate costumes and landscapes, which reflect the artistic trends of the late medieval period in France.

As part of the "Très Riches Heures," this miniature is an important example of Gothic manuscript illumination and is celebrated for its artistic and historical significance. The manuscript itself is held at the Musée Condé in Chantilly, France, and remains an invaluable resource for the study of medieval art and culture. Jean Colombe's contribution to the completion of the "Très Riches Heures" is a testament to his mastery and an enduring legacy of the opulent artistry of the late Middle Ages.
