"Isaak zegent Jakob" (Isaac Blessing Jacob), a black chalk drawing by Gerard ter Borch, is a circular composition depicting a biblical scene. The drawing depicts the moment when Isaac, seated on a bed, blesses his son Jacob, who kneels before him. A woman, likely Rebekah, watches the scene from the doorway, adding a sense of intimacy and drama. This work showcases Ter Borch's skill in capturing human emotion through the delicate lines of the drawing and the subtle expressions of the figures. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and exemplifies the artist's early works.
