The Son of Moses Circumcised 17th century

"The Son of Moses Circumcised," an anonymous 17th-century drawing from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, depicts the biblical scene of Moses' son being circumcised. The drawing features a dynamic composition with numerous figures, including Moses, his wife Zipporah, and other onlookers, all rendered in a loose, expressive style with a focus on line. This red chalk drawing showcases the artist's masterful use of the medium to capture the energy and drama of this significant biblical event.
