Eliëzer geeft geschenken aan Rebekka, haar moeder en haar broer Laban 1677 - 1755

This 18th-century drawing by Dutch artist Elias van Nijmegen depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis, specifically the moment when Abraham's servant Eliëzer gives gifts to Rebekah, her mother, and her brother Laban. The scene is rendered in a delicate style with washes of brown, grey, and blue, typical of drawings by this artist. The composition emphasizes the act of giving gifts, highlighting the central figures of Eliëzer, Rebekah, and Laban through their placement and the way they interact with each other. The drawing demonstrates van Nijmegen's skill in capturing the essence of a biblical story through his skillful use of line and wash.
