EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Abraham and Hagar" takes us back to biblical times, offering a glimpse into the complex dynamics of one of the most famous families in history. Created around 1880 by Adriaan van der Werff, this print beautifully depicts a pivotal moment from the Old Testament. In this scene, we witness Abraham's difficult decision to drive out his servant Hagar and their son Ishmael. The tension between Sarah, Abraham's wife, and Hagar has reached its breaking point due to jealousy and rivalry over family matters. As Abraham reluctantly carries out Sarah's wishes, we can sense the heartache in his eyes as he bids farewell to Hagar and Ishmael. Van der Werff skillfully captures the emotional turmoil within each character through intricate details and delicate shading. The composition exudes a sense of melancholy as Hagar clings tightly to her young son while looking back at Abraham with sorrowful eyes. This lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities that arise within families throughout history. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as sacrifice, loyalty, and human frailty found within religious texts like Genesis. Preserved in private collection for years before being made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this exquisite print continues to captivate audiences with its timeless portrayal of an ancient tale that still resonates today.
