Abraham Going to Sacrifice Isaac

Lucas van Leyden

National Gallery of Art

The image is a woodcut print depicting two figures and a donkey. One figure is an older man holding a book or a scroll, while the other is a younger person carrying a bundle of sticks. The woodcut technique uses bold, dark lines to show texture and depth. The setting includes a detailed tree to the left, a rocky landscape, and a low horizon line. The color palette is monochrome, with black ink on a lighter background. In the distance, there are more figures, a building, and a sky with clouds and birds.
