Hagar wordt door Sara vernederd en vlucht weg 1744

"Hagar wordt door Sara vernederd en vlucht weg" is an etching by Jan Punt from 1744. It depicts the biblical story of Hagar, Abraham's concubine, being forced to flee from her mistress, Sarah, after a conflict arises due to the birth of their respective sons, Ishmael and Isaac. The scene is set outdoors, with a tent and a tree providing shade. The etching is a classic example of Dutch Baroque art and is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The image depicts a moment of drama, with Hagar kneeling before Sarah and Abraham, her face filled with sorrow and despair. This etching is a significant piece of art that illustrates a key event in the Book of Genesis.
