Hagar leaves Abraham’s household with her son and provisions for the journey. The biblical account describes a painful family separation that leads into the wilderness story. In the illustration, the water vessel, the child and Abraham’s extended arm make the departure concrete. The old paper and precise folds in the garments give this quiet scene a lasting physical presence.
