Isacco benedice Giacobbe

1880[-]81

Che dramma familiare! Questa scena cattura il momento in cui Giacobbe inganna suo padre cieco, Isacco, facendosi dare la benedizione familiare destinata a suo fratello Esaù. Giacobbe sta eretto con un mantello bordato di pelliccia per imitare il fratello peloso, mentre sua madre Rebecca si nasconde sullo sfondo con un'aria estremamente stressata, tenendo il piatto di cibo che ha suggellato l'accordo. L'artista vittoriano Edward Armitage illustrò questo momento biblico intorno al 1880, e le linee intricate furono probabilmente incise dai famosi fratelli Dalziel, la cui firma appare nell'angolo inferiore.
