Mozes, Aäron en Mirjam bij de ontmoetingstent 1683 - 1733

This etching by Bernard Picart, titled "Mozes, Aäron en Mirjam bij de ontmoetingstent" (Moses, Aaron and Miriam at the Tent of Meeting), is part of a series depicting biblical scenes. Dated between 1683 and 1733, the artwork presents a central oval scene of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before a tent, framed by elaborate Rococo-style ornamentation. The intricate floral motifs and the presence of putti (cherubic figures) highlight the artistic trends of the period. The inscription "Nombre XII. vers 4" (Numbers 12, verse 4) at the bottom of the oval references the biblical passage depicted in the artwork. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Picart's mastery of engraving and his contribution to the artistic dialogue surrounding religious themes.
