Isaac Blessing Jacob is an oil on canvas painting by Matthias Stom, created c. 1635, whilst the artist was on Sicily.[1]
It is now in the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, in Birmingham, which purchased it in 1994.[2] The sniffing dog indicates the work can also be read as an allegory of the five senses.
The work was exhibited at a 1999-2000 exhibition, the first retrospective on the artist.[3]
