Expulsion of Ishmael and His Mother 

"Expulsion of Ishmael and His Mother" is a dramatic illustration by Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist known for his detailed and often macabre depictions. The engraving portrays the biblical story of Abraham sending his son Ishmael and his mother Hagar away into the desert. Doré's characteristic dramatic style is evident in the scene's composition, with the figures of Abraham, Hagar, and Ishmael positioned to create a sense of tension and pathos. The somber palette and the barren landscape further contribute to the poignant atmosphere of the piece, emphasizing the harshness of the ordeal faced by the mother and son.
