Title: Isaac blesfseth his son Jacob.
Artist: after Gerard Hoet (Dutch, 22 August 1648 – 2 December 1733)
Engraver: J de Later.
Description: antique engraving with a Dutch Bible scene. The subject is taken from Genesis, Chapter 27, which tells how Jacob tricked his dying father, the blind Isaac, into giving him the blessing that rightfully belonged to his elder brother, Esau. Isaac's wife, Rebekah, is shown looking on. The deception - a simple matter of applying animal skins to imitate Esau's hairy arms - was her idea as Jacob was her favourite son.
Provenance: These illustrations were used in various publications including the Figures de la Bible (1720) and the Taferelen der voornaamste geschiedenissen van het Oude en Nieuwe Testament (1728)
Production date: c.1720.
Image size: 35x21 cms.
