Rebecca at the Well Marble Bust Sculpture Statue After Antonio Piazza 27"

About the Item

An impressive marble bust of "Rebecca at the Well" after Antonio Piazza (Italian 1875-1925). The sculpture is executed in a beautiful beige marble showcasing Rebekah with her arms over an Amphora. Unsigned. Circa second half 20th century. Rebekah is a central figure in one of the great family dramas of the Bible. She was the wife of Isaac and the mother of twin boys – Esau and Jacob. She was also a distant ancestor of Christ. Her story is found in the book of Genesis, which explains how Abraham sent his servant Eliezer on a special mission to his home town of Nahor. His mission was to find a suitable wife for his son Isaac – a woman from his own clan. Eliezer travelled to Nahor and waited at a well, praying to God for the right woman to appear. He then immediately met the beautiful Rebekah, who had come to the well to draw water. Convinced that this was a sign, Eliezer then acted as a match-maker between Rebekah and Isaac. When the two first met, it was love at first sight for Isaac and they quickly married. Dimensions: 27"h x 18" x 13"
