Hagar Seated at the Fountain

follower of Rembrandt van Rijn

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of two figures interacting with each other. The drawing depicts an angelic figure on the left, sketched with flowing lines, expansive wings, and robes. The figure's head is slightly inclined forward. On the right, a seated figure is drawn with a few lines, appearing to gesture with both arms raised. The seated figure wears a wide-brimmed hat. The drawing suggests a narrative or moment of encounter between the two figures, with a simplistic yet expressive style capturing the essence of the scene.
