Etching of Abraham with raised arm restrained by a winged angel above, while Isaac lies on the ground beside him, under a dark arch of clouds.

Offer van Abraham

An etching of the biblical scene of Abraham's sacrifice: an elderly man in a draped robe reaches down toward a young boy lying on the ground while a winged angel descends from a cloud-filled arch to seize his raised arm. Dense, dark hatching models the rocky ground, foliage and a tree at left.

Español: Sacrificio de Abraham: el ángel detiene su mano

Un aguafuerte de la escena bíblica del sacrificio de Abraham: un hombre mayor con una túnica drapeada se inclina hacia un niño tendido en el suelo, mientras un ángel alado desciende desde un arco de nubes para sujetar su brazo levantado. El denso sombreado oscuro modela el terreno rocoso, el follaje y un árbol a la izquierda.

Português: Sacrifício de Abraão: o anjo detém sua mão

Uma gravura em água-forte da cena bíblica do sacrifício de Abraão: um homem idoso, com manto drapeado, inclina-se em direção a um menino deitado no chão, enquanto um anjo alado desce de um arco de nuvens para segurar seu braço erguido. Hachuras densas e escuras modelam o terreno rochoso, a folhagem e uma árvore à esquerda.
