De ongelovige Thomas en Hagar en de engel in de woestijn 1593 - 1690

This is a drawing by Gerard ter Borch, known as "De ongelovige Thomas en Hagar en de engel in de woestijn" which translates to "Doubting Thomas and Hagar and the Angel in the Desert." The artwork depicts two separate scenes, on the left, a scene showing Jesus Christ and his followers including doubting Thomas, and on the right, an angel interacting with Hagar in a desert setting. The quick, gestural style and use of brown ink are characteristic of Borch's draftsmanship, a testament to the artist's skill in capturing fleeting moments with great economy of lines. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and measures 77 mm in height and 167 mm in width.
