Abraham Entertaining the Angels 1610 - 1620

"Abraham Entertaining the Angels" is a pen and ink drawing created by the Dutch artist Jan Tengnagel between 1610 and 1620. This drawing depicts the biblical story of Abraham's hospitality to three angels who appeared to him. The drawing depicts Abraham, his wife Sarah, and three angels seated around a table, while a fourth angel reaches out towards a young man who sits near the table. The artwork is framed by a simple landscape, with trees and a distant town. This drawing is typical of Tengnagel's style, known for its intricate detail and attention to naturalism. The artist's use of light and shadow gives the drawing a sense of depth and dimension. The scene is captured in an intimate moment, and the artist's skill in capturing the expressions of the figures makes the scene feel very human.
