A Sacrifice Interrupted

John Hamilton Mortimer

Cleveland Museum of Art

A drawing depicts a man holding an axe raised above his head standing beside a young man on an altar; a man on one knee grasps the young man. The standing man wears a long robe. Several people surround the group. A box-like structure and tree are behind the group. All are drawn in dark brown on a light brown background.
