This detailed black-and-white engraving illustrates the pivotal moment from Genesis 32:24-30, where Jacob wrestles with a divine being-often interpreted as an angel-and receives a blessing and a new name, Israel. The angel’s outstretched hand and serene expression contrast with Jacob’s humble, kneeling posture, emphasizing themes of grace, repentance, and divine favor. Fine linework captures drapery folds, feathered wings, and naturalistic background elements like palm fronds and rocky terrain.
