About the creation
Binding of Isaac
Artist name: Boneh Shmuel
Abraham raises the knife above Isaac, who lies naked and untied upon the altar. Isaac is portrayed as a small carefree boy, as opposed to Abraham, who is dressed in black and expresses deep agony through his long face. Abraham looks up and sees a heavenly angel and a ram with a man’s arm, sounding a horn.
