DescriptionA very young Isaac stands leaning against his father Abraham, one arm draped over his knee and the other holding an apple. He looks outward, joyfully. The sitting Abraham holds Isaac, one hand on his son's face. This is a late Basan impression (date is original publication). The plate is worn and the dark areas are reworked.
