"Abraham en de engelen" (Abraham and the Angels), a 1615 drawing by Dutch artist Gerard ter Borch, depicts the biblical story of Abraham's hospitality to three angels disguised as travelers. The circular composition features a detailed portrayal of the scene, with Abraham seated beneath a tree while the angels converse with him. The scene is situated near a rustic farmhouse, showcasing the daily life of the period. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies ter Borch's mastery of detail and his ability to imbue religious narratives with a sense of realism.
