Moses Saved from the Waters n.d.

"Moses Saved from the Waters" is a drawing by Hubert Robert, a French painter and architect known for his depictions of Roman ruins. This work features a group of figures standing near a large piece of Roman architecture. The figures appear to be gathering around a small child, and the scene alludes to the biblical story of Moses being saved from the Nile River. Robert's detailed rendering of the architecture and figures highlights his interest in the classical past. This drawing is part of a collection of studies for a larger work, demonstrating Robert's meticulous approach to his craft.
