The Dismissal of Hagar
1641
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Dismissal of Hagar is a 1641 ink by Unknown, a Baroque work, depicting Visitation, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a scene from the Bible where Hagar is sent away. It's a simple drawing with pen and brown ink. The artist used lines to create texture and depth, which is interesting because it adds feeling to the scene. The lines are loose and expressive, which makes the scene feel dynamic. This style of drawing was common during this time period, and it's neat to see how the artist used it to tell a story. You can see more examples of this style by looking at the technique: cross-hatching.
