This 17th-century woodcut depicts the biblical story of Abraham and Isaac, where Abraham is about to sacrifice his son Isaac as an offering to God. The scene is framed by a large capital letter "A", a common feature in illuminated manuscripts and early printed books. The dramatic scene is heightened by the depiction of an angel appearing from the clouds above, who stops Abraham from sacrificing Isaac at the last minute. The woodcut is likely from a book or publication, demonstrating the artistic and religious influence of the period.
