Study for the Figure of Sarah

Artist: Henri Lehmann
Artwork: Study for the Figure of Sarah
Description: This is a preparatory drawing for Lehmann’s painting _Sarah_ (1867), now in the Musee d’Orsay, Paris. The painting depicts the biblical figure Sarah, the wife of Abraham, as she is about to be sacrificed by her husband. Lehmann’s drawing captures the figure of Sarah in a moment of great emotion, as she is both terrified and resigned to her fate. The drawing is a powerful example of Lehmann’s skill as a draftsman, and it provides a valuable glimpse into the creative process behind his paintings.
