Another entry in this catalogue names the same desert episode with a verb of meeting. This one uses only and. The difference is small and entirely in the record, but it changes what the title claims: a conjunction reports that two figures are present, while a verb reports an encounter. Three titles here concern Hagar, and the angel in each is the unnamed angel of the Lord.
The catalogue dates the work to 1660 and gives Nicolas Poussin, filed as French, with no style term recorded. The recorded dimensions are 100 x 75 cm. The measured colour family is neutral. No location is recorded.
The subject tags on this entry are unusual for an angelic subject: Landscapes, Forest, Mountain, Rock, Seascapes and Tree, with Religion appearing once at the end of the list. That ordering is the catalogue's own, and it suggests a picture in which the episode is a small event inside terrain. The measured palette registers as neutral, which among these 224 works is recorded for only twelve entries. No location is on file.
