Jakob ontvangt de zegen van Izaäk 1774

This pen and wash drawing, "Jakob ontvangt de zegen van Izaäk," depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis, where Jacob, disguised as his brother Esau, receives a blessing from his father Isaac. Created by Cornelis van Noorde in 1774, the drawing showcases the artist's skill in capturing the emotional intensity of the moment, with Jacob kneeling before Isaac, who is seated in bed, and a woman preparing a meal in the background. The intimate setting and expressive figures contribute to the drawing's poignant portrayal of the biblical narrative. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
