Abraham and Isaac is a 1645 ink by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows two men standing outside near some bushes and a low wall. The older man, dressed in a long robe and turban, holds something small in his hand. The younger man, wearing a loose shirt and pants, looks up at him, holding a bundle wrapped in cloth. The older man’s face is lined with age, and his posture suggests he’s explaining or offering something. The artist used fine lines to show textures like fabric and hair.
