"Mozes in het rieten mandje" (Moses in the Bulrushes) is a lithograph by Adolphe Mouilleron, dating from 1848-1862, now held in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a serene river scene with palm trees and two figures. Mouilleron's detailed style captures the lush vegetation and the tranquility of the Egyptian landscape, referencing the biblical story of Moses being found in the reeds.
