Death of Isaac, from Wells Cathedral

Maria Denman after John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures, with only their upper bodies visible. One person is lying down, while the other is bending over them. The figure on the ground has their head resting on their hand. Both figures have indistinct facial features, and are dressed in flowing robes. The background is shaded with a cloud-like pattern and a light, textured surface surrounds the figures.
