"Sacrifice of Jephthah's Daughter," a drawing by Sébastien Bourdon (1616-1671), depicts a scene from the biblical Book of Judges. Jephthah, a military leader, vows to sacrifice the first person he sees upon returning home if God grants him victory. Upon his return, his daughter greets him, and he is compelled to fulfill his vow. The drawing, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, captures the dramatic tension of the moment with its detailed figures and use of light and shadow.
