This representation of Sara (the wife of Abraham) and the adjacent painting of Abigail are from a series representing Old Testament heroines by an artist either very close to Zurbarán or working directly in his workshop. The most recent attributions include Antonio del Castillo y Saavedra and Juan de Valdés Leal. These paintings were at one time in the collection of the Spanish Post-Impressionist painter Ignacio Zuloaga, a now almost forgotten artist who was immensely popular in the early 20th century.
