Abraham (1974)

The lithograph was a special commission done for an organization in 1974.

According to the biblical book of Genesis, Abraham left Ur in Mesopotamia because God asked Abraham to leave his home in Haran. He left with his wife Sarai and nephew Lot. They moved to Canaan, but Abraham settled near Bethel, north of Jerusalem. When Famine struck the land, Abram and Sarai went to Egypt to get food…

Abraham lived in the Old Testament but is mentioned in the New Testament. God initiated the covenant with him. Abraham (Abram) was born the son of Terah near the city of Ur.
