Stemler and Bess Bruce Cleveland Source: Wikipedia The image shows Jacob, wearing a vertically striped tunic belted at the waist, lying on his cloak draped over a rock under a palm tree. The night sky immediately around the palm is dark, but to the left, a white staircase stretches up into a bright light and shadowy, feminine figures with blonde hair and wearing white robes, stand on the steps of the staircase, looking down at Jacob, as he stares up at them.
