This pair of etchings by Dutch artist Simon Fokke depicts two scenes from the biblical book of Exodus. The top scene, depicting Moses at the burning bush, symbolizes the moment God calls upon Moses to free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. The lower scene shows Moses and his brother Aaron confronting the Egyptian magicians, who are attempting to replicate Moses's miraculous act of turning his staff into a snake. This print was created in 1791 and can be found in the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
