Landschap bij een meer met het vinden van Mozes Possibly 1774 - 1779

This 18th-century print, *Landschap bij een meer met het vinden van Mozes* by Richard Earlom, depicts a picturesque landscape with a river, a distant city, and a group of women bathing in the water. The scene is based on the biblical story of Moses’s discovery, a subject common in European art. This print, created in the style of a mezzotint, is notable for its soft, tonal qualities, highlighting the artist's skill in reproducing the nuances of light and shadow. The work, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Earlom's talent for translating the aesthetic of oil paintings onto the printed medium.
