About the Work

Oppenheim was, above all, known for his portraits of important Jewish personalities. Yet, he also did historical paintings, such as this scene from the Old Testament: at the behest of his wife Sarah, Abraham disowns the maid Hagar and their son Ishmael; Sarah, meanwhile, can be seen sitting on the right with their son Isaac. Oppenheim’s clear, contoured style of painting and the religious topic were inspired by the art of the “Nazarenes”, whom he had become acquainted with in Rome.
