The Sacrifice of Isaac
Second half of the XVII century. Grey-brown wash, Chalk ground, Pencil on laid paper.Not on display
Standing to the left, Abraham is depicted with a knife in his right hand. He is stopped by the angel who appears flying above the altar on which Isaac lies blindfolded on logs. This drawing is set in a landscape background.
The work dates from the second half of the century. It suggests Italian influence and may have been executed by an Aragonese or Valencian artist.
