The scimitar that Abraham swings with the other hand over the head is stopped by the angel. At the bottom, for Isaac, an altar table, aside a young ram. 2 Abraham, listening to God's word, is dressed in a tabard. Abraham answers: ADSUM DNE. A flower vase is on the center axis. Standing and lying edges: double mirrored tendril with small birds. Corners: rosettes, story of Abraham, anonymous, Northern Netherlands (possibly), c. 1600, linen (material), damask, h 99 cm h 98.5 cm w 72 cm
