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 the Israelite male children (ordered by the Pharaoh of Egypt to prevent the Israelite people from becoming too numerous and being able to rebel against slavery), is found by a handmaid of the same Pharaoh's daughter, who decides to adopt him and saves him. The scene, set along the river, is entirely occupied by the female figures of the princely retinue, massed and projected toward the lower right corner where the basket with the infant is placed. All gazes are also turned toward the child, in the direction indicated by the outstretched arm of the woman in the right foreground. The roundness of the female forms stands out, especially of the three figures in the foreground, where plays of light and shadow bring out the complexions that emerge from the robes. Restored and re-tinted, thepainting is presented in a frame.
