Mozes en vijf scènes uit de Pentateuch 1659

This 1659 engraving by Cornelis Galle I, titled "Mozes en vijf scènes uit de Pentateuch," features a central image of Moses seated, holding two tablets with the Ten Commandments. Above him, a dove, surrounded by rays of light, descends upon him from heaven, signifying the divine inspiration he received.
