Engraved by Laplante in 1866, it showcases Doré's exceptional talent for capturing dramatic scenes with intricate details. In this particular image, we witness Jacob locked in an epic wrestling match with a celestial being. Their bodies intertwine as they grapple on the edge of a cliff, symbolizing both physical and spiritual strength. The rugged terrain surrounding them adds to the sense of challenge and determination present in their struggle. Jacob's face reveals his unwavering resolve as he fights against his heavenly opponent.

Doré masterfully conveys the intensity of this moment through his skillful use of light and shadow. Every muscle strain and facial expression is meticulously rendered, evoking raw emotion that resonates with viewers. This powerful print serves as a reminder that life often presents us with challenges that require us to summon our inner strength.
