The painting titled "Hannah prays to the Lord for a son who will be Samuel (I Samuel, I, 9-11)" is a poignant example of a Religious painting that captures a moment of devout supplication. Rendered with a style reminiscent of Naïve art (primitivism), it features bold, expressive lines and simplified forms, emphasizing the sincerity of Hannah’s prayer.
