About the piece

Painted in 1781 by Louis-Jean-François Lagrenée, this work captures the biblical narrative of Sarah presenting Hagar to Abraham. The composition is marked by the soft, porcelain-like treatment of the figures' skin and the dramatic use of primary colors in the flowing robes, characteristic of French Neoclassicism.
