Description
Portrait by Scottish pre-Raphaelite William Dyce (1806-1864), painted in 1860, of Eliezer of Damascus, the head of Abraham's household according to the Book of Genesis. Other translations describe Eliezer as Abraham's heir. One Judaic text says Eliezer accompanied Abraham in a bid to rescue Lot from captivity after he had been seized by the kind of Elam. Whatever the truth, Dyce's striking head-and-shoulders view of an elderly and somewhat mournful-looking Eliezer in striking silver-grey and scarlet robes against a barren desert landscape is giving nothing away.
