See comments on HMF 80(255). This drawing is based on Abraham, Panel IV of the East Door of the Florence Baptistery, by Lorenzo Ghiberti.

This is based on a photograph of panel 4: The sacrifice of Issac which forms part of Ghiberti's second Baptistery Doors, commonly known as La Porta del Paradiso (1425-1452). The photograph used is from 'The Florence Baptistery Doors' photographs by David Finn.
