The story of Hagar in the Wilderness

Hagar in the Wilderness was painted in 1835 and shown at the Paris Salon that year. It depicts the biblical Hagar wandering with her son Ishmael in the wilderness of Beersheba, at the moment she stretches her arm to heaven pleading for help and an angel appears. Much of the landscape is drawn from Corot's earlier nature studies.
