(Muslims believe that it was Isma`il who was being sacrificed, though this is not explicitly stated in the Qur'an.)

Note that although U.S. case law allows older paintings like this to be reproduced without observing copyrights for photographs of it, the photograph is copyrightable in other countries, and may well under copyright. If you wish to publish it worldwide, you may need to secure publication rights. The source of this photograph has not been given. It is housed at:

Musée des Beaux-Arts d'Orléans
1, rue Fernand-Rabier 
45000 ORLEANS

Art Resource (artrec.com) was unable to secure rights to any photograph of this painting from this museum, and when emailed, there was no reply. When phoned and asked if there are any English speakers present at the museum, this writer was greeted with a curt "No." and a dialtone. Agruably, this is the finest picture of Abraham in a pose where he might be readily recognizeable based on the image alone.
