Isaac Blessing Jacob is a c.1635 oil on canvas painting by Matthias Stom, produced whilst the artist was on Sicily.[1] It is now in the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, 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]
