Abraham og Hagar 1792

"Abraham og Hagar" is a 1792 engraving by Danish artist Gerhard Ludvig Lahde depicting a scene from the Old Testament. The work shows Abraham, Hagar, and their son Ishmael. Abraham appears to be sending Hagar and Ishmael away. This engraving, like many others Lahde produced, showcases his mastery of detail and skill in capturing human emotions. The artwork, currently housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, is a fine example of Lahde's contributions to Danish art and offers a glimpse into the artist's engagement with biblical narratives.
