EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable design by Holbein the Younger, Hans, dating back to the 16th century. The artwork depicts Hagar and Ishmael, two significant figures from biblical history. Created using pen and ink on paper, this intricate design was originally intended for use as a pendant or hat badge. Hagar, known as the handmaiden to Abraham's wife Sarah, is shown with her firstborn son Ishmael. The circular composition of the design draws attention to their intimate connection and highlights their importance in religious narratives. An inscription accompanies the image, adding depth and context to this powerful portrayal. Holbein's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen. From the delicate features of Hagar's face to the angelic presence hovering above them both, each element contributes to an atmosphere of awe and reverence. The artist masterfully captures Hagar's fear as she clings protectively to her child while also conveying a sense of strength and resilience. This print allows us a glimpse into religious iconography that has stood the test of time. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences across centuries and cultures—mothers' love for their children transcends boundaries imposed by time or place. As we contemplate this exquisite piece by Holbein, we are invited into a deeper understanding of faith, motherhood, and our own capacity for compassion.
