This is a black and white illustration by the French artist Gustave Doré depicting the biblical story of Hagar and Ishmael, a poignant moment of desperation in the wilderness. Hagar is depicted in prayer, while Ishmael lies on the ground in the desert, illustrating the theme of suffering and God's intervention. The artwork is a powerful example of Doré's dramatic style and his ability to capture the raw emotions of biblical narratives. It exemplifies the artist's ability to use contrast and detail to depict the struggles of hardship and divine intervention. This depiction is a classic representation of this story, as artists have sought to illustrate the scene for centuries.
