About the piece
Created circa 1650 by Bernabé de Ayala, this commanding work depicts the biblical figure Abisag the Sunamite. The painting is a superb example of the Spanish Baroque style, characterized by its luminous use of color and the theatrical contrast between the figure's rich attire and the atmospheric, dark sky.
