What does the original description of the The Cleveland Museum of Art write about this work of art from the illustrator Augustin de Saint-Aubin? (© Copyright - Cleveland Museum of Art - Muzej umjetnosti u Clevelandu)

This painting is a sketch for a special competition in 1753 held by the Royal Academy in Paris. After the Grand Prix de Rome, the academy's top student prize, an unexpected vacancy in the school's branch in Rome required the academy to hold another contest. Saint-Aubin's oil sketch was well received and he won first place among three finalists. However, his final canvas, now in the Louvre, failed to garner him this distinguished award. Saint-Aubin eventually abandoned his goal of becoming a member of the Royal Academy and joined the less-prestigious Academy of St. Luke. The subject of Saint-Aubin's sketch, selected by the academy, comes from the Old Testament book of Genesis (31:33–35). After toiling for Laban for 14 years, Jacob fled with his wife, Rachel, who was also Laban's daughter. Unbeknownst to Jacob, Rachel had stolen her father's idols before their departure to secure her right to her first born. Laban tracks down Jacob and Rachel and accuses them of carrying off his idols. Jacob is still unaware of Rachel's previous actions, and she has hidden the gods under a camel saddle on which she sits.

Laban Searching for His Stolen Gods was painted by the male artist Augustin de Saint-Aubin. The original measures the size: Framed: 62 x 72 x 7,5 cm (24 7/16 x 28 3/8 x 2 15/16 in); Unframed: 45,6 x 57,3 cm (17 15/16 x 22 9/16 in).
