Hagar Comforted by the Angel, from Six Large Upright Landscapes with Scenes from the Old Testament n.d.

Anthonie Waterloo's "Hagar Comforted by the Angel," one of six landscapes depicting scenes from the Old Testament, showcases the Dutch artist's mastery of etching. The print, notable for its intricate detail, presents a wooded landscape with a poignant biblical story: Hagar, an enslaved woman and mother, receives comfort from an angel in the wilderness. The composition, dominated by dense foliage and a dramatic sky, evokes a sense of solitude and divine intervention, capturing a key moment from the Book of Genesis. This print is an excellent example of Waterloo's signature style, characterized by meticulous attention to natural details and a focus on the human condition.
