[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 9552541, member: 5833"]Look what I found in my files: [ATTACH=full]455763[/ATTACH] The tent in the background does suggest this is a Biblical tale & I have it tentatively tagged as Abraham, Hagar & Ishmael. Kind of looks like the cedars of Lebanon there in the back on the right. The elements are starting to cohere. Hagar & her son are cast out and must live by hunting, hence the dog, the bow shown more clearly in the second cameo, the strap across the torso of the lady in Simona's cameo & what looks like a little water gourd on Ishmael's belt. There is undoubtedly an artistic primary image for this version. Have not yet seen it, searching for 'casting out of Hagar', , none that show the boy trying to lead his mother away, but, for example: [URL='https://universitybaptist.org/ishmael-and-hagar/'][ATTACH=full]455764[/ATTACH][/URL] Despite the similarities, I retract the notion that Simona's cameo relates to the one of the man leading away the barely clothed boy.[/QUOTE]
