    Italian School, 17th Century: Eliezer and Rebecca

    Oil painting on canvas, late 17th century

    Before two women look on, a richly dressed, bearded old man places a bracelet around the wrist of a young woman. She wears a blue silk dress and cloak and leans against a metal jug resting on the edge of a well. To the left, the heads of two camels are visible.

    This painting depicts a passage from Genesis (24:22) in which Abraham, nearing the end of his life, instructed his steward Eliezer to find a wife for his son Isaac in Mesopotamia. Eliezer then traveled to Haran (the city of Nahor) where he stopped at a well to rest his camels. After his prayer, he asked the first young woman he encountered for water, and she agreed to give him some. Seeing the sign he had been waiting for, Eliezer gave a ring and two gold bracelets to Isaac's future bride, Rebecca. In this painting, the gold bracelets are replaced by pearls, symbols of purity.

    This half-length portrait on a single plane recalls the technique of Piazzetta (1683-1754), although the light colors of Rebecca's clothing contrasting with Eliezer's cloak, the transparent light illuminating her skin, the affected expressions, and the unusual camels mark the artist's singularity.

    Dimensions: 102 x 87 cm with frame
    69 x 85 cm without frame
    Accompanied by an exceptional carved and patinated wooden frame with stylized floral motifs in relief.

    Some minor losses to the frame and very few small repaints in the sky and on Rebecca's dress.

    The frame is probably original.

    Customs duties are included in the price.
