Abraham was told by God to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Moriah. Abraham prepared for the sacrifice, but at the last moment, an angel of God stopped him and told him to sacrifice a ram instead. The story of Abraham and Isaac is used in the Bible to demonstrate God's relationship with those who descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It was also used in the early Christian church as an example of faith and obedience.
John White Abbott (13 May 1763 – 1851) was an English surgeon and apothecary in Exeter, remembered as a keen amateur painter in both watercolour and oils. His watercolours are close in style to those of his teacher, Francis Towne.
