Etching of a bearded old man in a cap embracing a child beside him, with a lily plant at the left edge.

Abraham Caressing Isaac

An etching shows a bearded elderly man in a cap seated with his arm around a child who leans against him at his side. A lily plant rises at the left edge, and loose hatched lines give the dim setting a soft, shadowed texture.
