Engraving of a robed bearded man raising his arm beside a fiery altar, with kneeling figures, animals, and a rainbow in a stormy sky.

Noah and his entourage come down from the ark and make a sacrifice to God. Etching by M. van der Gucht after G. Hoet.

An engraved biblical scene shows a bearded robed man raising his arm toward a sunburst and rainbow arc in a stormy sky. Beside a brick altar, flames rise from burnt offerings while figures kneel and gesture in the foreground, and a distant ark-like structure sits on a hill.

Español: Noé construye un altar y ofrece sacrificio, según Gerard Hoet

Una escena bíblica grabada muestra a un hombre barbudo con túnica que levanta el brazo hacia un sol radiante y un arco iris en un cielo tormentoso. Junto a un altar de ladrillo, las llamas se elevan de las ofrendas quemadas mientras figuras arrodilladas gesticulan en primer plano.

Português: Noé constrói um altar e oferece sacrifício, após Gerard Hoet

Uma cena bíblica gravada mostra um homem barbudo de manto erguendo o braço em direção a um sol radiante e um arco-íris em um céu tempestuoso. Ao lado de um altar de tijolos, chamas sobem das oferendas queimadas enquanto figuras ajoelhadas gesticulam em primeiro plano.
