Melchizedek Blessing Abraham

Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a scene with two men in the center, one with his right hand raised in a gesture of blessing towards the other. The man on the right wears a short tunic and a helmet, and holds a spear. The man on the left wears a long robe and a helmet. He faces the man on the right with his right hand raised. Several men surround them, some wearing long robes and others wearing armor and helmets. A young man stands to the left, holding a tray with food and a jug. To his left are two clay jugs and a wicker basket. In the background, there are buildings, trees, and mountains. The scene is framed by a light blue border with a darker blue inner line and a thin black line.
