This print shows a man with a long white beard and turban gesturing toward a woman holding a child. Behind them, a second woman in draped robes watches. The scene is lit from the side, making faces and fabrics stand out in dark and light. The text below calls it *Abraham giving up Hagar*, a biblical story about sending someone away. The artist used shading to create depth, almost like a sketch brought to life. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
