Bearded old man in red robe reclines in bed as a young man leans in; a woman behind touches the old man's head.

Isaac Blessing Jacob

An elderly bearded man in a red fur-trimmed robe reclines in bed while a younger man in a striped blue tunic leans toward him, a woman behind them touching the old man's head. A roasted bird sits on a table, and orange bedding fills the foreground. The dark oil painting lights the figures against a shadowy interior.
