Hagar and Ishmael in the Wilderness (recto); Two Portrait Studies of the Artist's Wife, and a Study of a Leg and Torso (verso) 1829-33 George Richmond British After bearing a son to her childless master, Abraham, the Egyptian servant Hagar was expelled from the household by his jealous wife, Sarah, and forced to wander in the wilderness of Beersheba (Gen. 21:9-14). Richmond presents Hagar striding forward, carrying water in a skin slung from a yoke while guiding her son, Ishmael. The Old Testament relates that God subsequently protected the pair when their water ran out. The artist drew them with youthful exuberance, basing Hagar's profile and statuesque form on precedents in Michelangelo and Raphael. At this early stage in his career Richmond belonged to the Ancients, an idealistic artistic brotherhood that deeply admired the work of William Blake and the Renaissance. The figures are defined in graphite and ink, the shadows in wash, and highlights in white gouache. The artist also use

The First Riding Lesson (La première leçon d'équitation) Jean-Honoré Fragonard (French, 1732-1806). The First Riding Lesson (La première leçon d'équitation), ca. 1778. Brown ink and graphite on laid paper, 13 11/16 x 17 3/4 in. (34.8 x 45.1 cm).  In this scene doting parents and a patient dog help a child learn how to ride. Their gentle instruction makes a striking contrast with the negligent and compromised behavior of the impoverished parents amid urban squalor depicted by William Hogarth in his contemporaneous Gin Lane, on view nearby. Jean-Honoré Fragonards best-known works are playful scenes of lovers and happy families rendered with a lively touch. In addition to intimate paintings and large commissions for his elite clientele, he also produced many large-scale wash drawings like this one, which were considered finished works of art rather than preparatory studies for paintings.
