Farao's dochter vindt Mozes in de biezen mand 1680 - 1694

"Farao's dochter vindt Mozes in de biezen mand" (Pharaoh's Daughter Finds Moses in the Reed Basket), is a 17th-century etching by Dutch artist Paul van (II) Somer, depicting the biblical story of Moses' discovery. The artwork, created between 1680 and 1694, showcases the moment Pharaoh's daughter discovers the baby Moses, who is being presented to her in a basket. Somer's masterful use of line and detail brings the scene to life, capturing the drama and emotion of the encounter. The etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, is a fine example of Dutch Baroque art, with its focus on storytelling and intricate rendering.
