Description:
In this figurative watercolor painting, Jacob Epstein depicts Moses holding two tablets, one in each arm, that are inscribed with the ten commandments. This is a visualization of the traditional biblical story in which Moses goes to Mount Sinai and has the ten commandments revealed to him by God which he inscribed onto two tablets and keeps in the Ark of the Covenant. The piece depicts Moses in his full figure atop Mount Sinai and amidst rays of holy yellow light which illuminate the mountain, tablets, and his face. The piece strictly uses two hues, gray and yellow in conjunction with the negative space of the white page.
