This painting, titled Ishmael, is by the English artist Jean Charles Gazin ( 1840-1901). The subject is dramatic: Abraham's wife Sarah demanded that he cast out from his dwelling the bondswoman Hagar, with Ismael, the son she had borne him. Abraham rose early in themorning and took bread, a bottle of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child and sent her away. She departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba. Ad the water was spent in the bottle. Gazin loved simplicity in his landscapes and associated them with human feelings.
