Sarah tager afsked med Isak, Abraham knælende 1777 - 1867

"Sarah tager afsked med Isak, Abraham knælende" (Sarah bids farewell to Isaac, Abraham kneeling) is a poignant pen and ink drawing by Danish artist J.L. Lund, created between 1777 and 1867. The artwork, housed at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts the biblical story of Abraham being commanded by God to sacrifice his son, Isaac. Sarah embraces Isaac as Abraham kneels in prayer, the scene underscored by a backdrop of lush greenery. This intimate depiction of the biblical narrative emphasizes the emotional toll of obedience, capturing a moment of profound sorrow and resignation.
