From his teacher, Maes had acquired a knack for turning Old Testament stories into powerful domestic narratives. Here, in a subject Rembrandt also depicted, Maes portrays the Hebrew patriarch Abraham banishing the handmaiden Hagar along with their son, Ishmael. Abraham attempts to reassure Hagar, but her downcast gaze, rhyming with the boys, conveys her abandonment and desolation..

When the dreaded bandit El Maragato was seized in 1806 by the humble monk Pedro de Zaldivia, a lay brother of a Franciscan barefoot order, the story swept through Spain. Not only did daily newspapers and pamphlets publicize it, but songs, ballads, and popular prints also praised the heroic deed. Although Francisco de Goya was chief painter to the Spanish king at the time, he was interested in the whole range of human experience, including contemporary Spanish events. The tale of Zaldivia and Maragato evidently captured his imagination. This small, lively painting belongs to a series of six in the Art Institute, which, like a modern-day comic strip, dramatically illustrates the event. This is the climactic scene, presenting the banditís humiliating and somewhat comical downfall at the hands of the brave monk. Here, as in all the panels, the artistís broad, quick brushwork dispenses with unnecessary detail to pinpoint The Painter and his Model, Arnold Houbraken (copy after), 1690 painting The painter and his model.
