About the creation
Abraham’s Hospitality
Artist name: Holbein Hans (the younger)
Abraham kneels before the three angels outside his house and receives the blessing of the middle angel who speaks to him. The angels stand close together as though they are united in one body. Sarah peeks at them from behind as she stands at the house entrance and smiles.
