Een Delftse plaquette in gemengde techniek met bijbels decor, 18e eeuw

Dim.: 35,5 x 34 cm

The plaque inscribed 'Genesis v24 45-48':
'Before I finished praying in my heart, Rebekah came out, with her jar on her shoulder. She went down to the spring and drew water, and I said to her, ‘Please give me a drink.’
She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder and said, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels too.’ So I drank, and she watered the camels also.
I asked her, ‘Whose daughter are you?’
She said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel son of Nahor, whom Milkah bore to him.’
Then I put the ring in her nose and the bracelets on her arms.
