EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from the biblical story of Hagar and Ishmael. Taken from The Bible Picture Book published by Thomas Nelson in 1950, this lithograph beautifully depicts the emotional bond between mother and son. In this scene, we witness Hagar's unwavering love for her child as she tenderly embraces Ishmael. Their expressions convey a mixture of strength, vulnerability, and resilience. The intricate details in their costumes transport us back to ancient times, immersing us in the rich history of Christianity. The story of Hagar and Ishmael is deeply rooted in the book of Genesis in the Old Testament. As Abraham's concubine, Hagar faced immense hardship but remained faithful to her role as a mother. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of family bonds and maternal love throughout history. The engraving technique used here adds an extra layer of artistry to this already compelling piece. Its inclusion within private collections ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, let us reflect on the enduring significance that religion plays in shaping our lives today. May it inspire contemplation about our own connections with faith, heritage, and compassion towards others – just like Hagar's unwavering devotion to her beloved son Ishmael.
