The Sacrifice of Jephthah’s Daughter
Artist name: Blake William
Jephthah kneels in front of an altar with arms outstretched. His naked daughter kneels above on the altar between a tambourine and a harp. She clasps her hands together in prayer, surrounded with light. Women lament on both sides of the altar. Dark clouds hover above.
