Jacob Blessing Ephraim and Manasseh, from "Dalziels' Bible Gallery" 1881

"Jacob Blessing Ephraim and Manasseh," an engraving by Frederick Richard Pickersgill from 1881, depicts the biblical scene of Jacob blessing his grandsons, Ephraim and Manasseh, before his death. Pickersgill uses expressive lines and a detailed style to capture the tender moment between the patriarch and his grandsons, as Jacob lays his hands on their heads and bestows his blessing upon them. This engraving is part of the "Dalziels' Bible Gallery," a series of illustrations created by various artists for the 1869 edition of the Bible.
