"The Sacrifice of Isaac" is a 17th-century drawing by Johan Carl Loth, a prominent Swedish Baroque artist. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac, demonstrating his unwavering faith. The drawing features a dynamic composition, with Abraham kneeling and preparing to sacrifice Isaac while an angel descends from heaven to stop him. Loth's skillful use of chiaroscuro and expressive lines adds depth and emotion to the scene, making it a poignant exploration of faith, obedience, and the divine intervention. This drawing, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Loth's mastery of Baroque drawing techniques.
