depicts this noble "prophet-poet" (as Neal A. Maxwell once described him) engraving those doctrines, revelations, and prophecies that focus our attention on the Savior; words which Jacob "considered to be most precious" for posterity (see Jacob 1:4).In the painting, the figure of Jacob appears seated before a wall-painting of the tree of life, and the ancient prophet is writing on plates that rest on a tapestry-covered surface before him.
While there are still scumbling and layers of glazes to be added to the face (shown, here, in progress), the spirit of the painting is already visible in the figure's eyes. Once completed, this depiction of Jacob will be the ninth oil painting in Al R. Young and Elspeth Young's series: Heroes of the Book of Mormon.
