About the Item

Oil on Canvas. The scene recounts the biblical episode from the book of Exodus in which baby Moses, whom his mother had entrusted to the river inside a basket to save him from the slaughter of Israel's male children (ordered by the Pharaoh of Egypt to prevent the Israeli populace from becoming too numerous and being able to rebel against slavery), he is found by a handmaid of Pharaoh's own daughter, who decides to adopt him and rescues him. The scene is set on the banks of a river but in a non-Eastern landscape, with architectural structures on the right: numerous figures , depicting the retinue of the princess, placed in the center along with the baby in the basket. The restored canvas, was applied on a modern frame. It is presented in 19th-century chronicles.
