Black and white image of "The Sacrifice of Abraham" by Pietro Testa. An older man with a long beard, wearing a robe, holds a knife in the right hand. The man appears to be standing on a mountain; in the background, there are more mountains. In the bottom right, another man sits on a pile of bricks, with his head tilted back and his body leaning to the right. The man has long hair and a beard, and a cloth wraps around his waist. To the left, another man flies through the air with wings, holding a cloth. Above, an angel appears to grab a young man from behind. The young man has short hair and no shirt. The angel wears a cloth around the waist. The background includes a tree on the right and sun rays emanating from the top center.
