About the piece

Painted in 1640 by Gerbrand van den Eeckhout, a prominent pupil of Rembrandt, this work captures the biblical figure of Hagar in a moment of profound despair. The composition highlights the artist's mastery of chiaroscuro, with dramatic lighting illuminating Hagar's face and the rich textures of her garments against a somber, earthy background.
