THE SACRIFICE OF ISAAC Oil on canvas. Doubled. 144 x 98 cm. In a wide landscape on a hill, the standing bearded Abraham in a brown robe, holding a large dagger in his right hand in order to kill his son Isaac, who is tied to a burnt altar, at the command of God. A large angel in a bluish-white robe, appearing on a cloud in heaven, stops him just in time. On Abraham's left, standing on the ground, is a vessel with a coal fire. To the right, the viewer's gaze falls into a bush in which a ram has become entangled, which he finally sacrifices in place of his son. Isolated rest. (1400131) (18)
