Bearded man raises a sword over a kneeling youth at an altar while an angel descends; a ram and donkeys stand nearby.

Abraham's Sacrifice of Isaac

A bearded old man in a dark robe and yellow cloak raises a sword over a kneeling young figure beside a stone altar, while an angel descends from clouds above to grasp his arm. Smoke rises from the altar, a ram waits in the foliage, and donkeys and attendants stand at the left among ruins and a wooded landscape.

Español: El sacrificio de Abraham a Isaac

Un anciano barbudo con túnica oscura y manto amarillo levanta una espada sobre un joven arrodillado junto a un altar de piedra, mientras un ángel desciende entre nubes para sujetarle el brazo. Del altar sube humo, un carnero espera entre el follaje y, a la izquierda, asnos y sirvientes están junto a ruinas y un paisaje boscoso.

Português: O sacrifício de Abraão e Isaque

Um ancião barbudo de túnica escura e manto amarelo ergue uma espada sobre um jovem ajoelhado junto a um altar de pedra, enquanto um anjo desce das nuvens para segurar seu braço. Fumaça sobe do altar, um carneiro aguarda entre a folhagem e, à esquerda, burros e servos ficam entre ruínas e uma paisagem arborizada.
