The Finding of Moses

Italienische Grafik 1640–1747, kb. 1685/1690

This is a drawing of a group of figures gathered in a landscape scene by a river or body of water. The composition features an arrangement of figures in flowing garments, surrounded by trees and bushes, with a view of architectural structures and vegetation in the background. The drawing is detailed, with expressive lines and a subtle use of shading to imply depth and movement among the figures. The overall style and line work indicate it could be in the manner of a classical or renaissance-inspired artist.
