Abraham Casting Out Hagar and Ishmael, c. 1630s-1650s. Pieter de Grebber (Dutch, 1590-1663). Black and white chalks on antique laid blue paper; sheet: 43.4 x 27.8 cm (17 1/16 x 10 15/16 in.). In this drawing, the Haarlem artist Pieter de Grebber depicted the Old Testament subject of the handmaid Hagar and her son Ishmael being cast out into the wilderness by Abraham. A popular story in the Protestant Netherlands, its theme played into the societys emphasis on charity and compassion for immigrants or outcasts. De Grebber focused the scene on Abrahams dismissive gesture and Hagars tearfully wilted form, beautifully rendered with carefully shaded drapery.
