Hagar and the Angel

Herman van Swanevelt

National Gallery of Art

The image is a landscape scene depicting a lush, wooded area. The horizon is low, with detailed trees and vegetation extending upwards. The foliage and figures are depicted using fine lines, stippling, and cross-hatching techniques in monochrome. Two figures stand by water surrounded by dense vegetation, with rolling hills and a cloudy sky in the distance.
