EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving from 1804 depicts the biblical story of Sarah, Abraham's wife, who was barren and offered her maid Hagar to her husband in order to have a child. The result of this union was Ishmael, whose name came to mean an outcast. This scene is taken from the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament, illustrating the complexities and challenges faced by these ancient figures.
The intricate copperplate engraving captures the emotion and drama of this pivotal moment in religious history. The artist skillfully portrays Sarah's desperation and Hagar's acceptance of her role as a concubine in order to fulfill Sarah's wishes.
Through this image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by individuals in pursuit of their beliefs and desires. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human experience and the lengths people will go to achieve their goals.
