Patriarch Issachar

Patriarch Issachar, half-length, holding a yoke in his right hand, with the head of a donkey at his left side (references to Issachar as a 'strong donkey' who 'bore his burden'). In the background a house or stable, a tree, and a man with a horse. Below the image two lines of text in Latin. This print is part of a series of twelve patriarchs of Israel; each print in this series consists of a portrait of a patriarch, half-length, and a two-line Latin inscription.
