Found a strikingly similar picture here http://www.womeninthebible.net/bible-archaeology/human-sacrifice/

described as Abraham prepares to sacrifice his son Isaac. by Caravaggio.

the one on the street in Brussells doesn't provide that kind of biblical context.

Agreed. The animal is missing also in the Brussels version. And we know how they love to pervert the Good Word

In the Bible story Abraham is stopped at the last minute by God from sacrificing his son and so, to give thanks, he then substitutes a ram.
