Alliance between Abraham and Abimelech, Figurae et imagines bibliorum (series title), Abraham makes an alliance with King Abimelech. Abraham points out to him a well of water that Abimelech's servants have appropriated. On the left, a servant of Abraham sets aside seven lambs as a gift for Abimelech. If Abimelech accepts the lambs, he thereby acknowledges that the well is Abraham's property. At the bottom a reference in Latin to the Bible text in Gen. 21., print maker: Symon Novelanus, (attributed to), publisher: Johann Bussemacher, (possibly ), Cologne, 1577 - 1627, paper, etching
