"Stamvaders Zebulon en Issachar" (1585-1643) is an engraving by Johann Sadeler I (1550-1601). The print depicts two figures from the Book of Genesis: Zebulon, the son of Jacob, holding a spear and an anchor, and Issachar, the son of Jacob, standing with a donkey carrying tools. The scene reflects the biblical narrative, where Zebulon was associated with the sea, and Issachar with agriculture. This engraving is a testament to Sadeler's skill in capturing the details and symbolism of the Old Testament. The artwork is now in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, measuring 224 mm high and 309 mm wide.
