"Israelites in the Wilderness" is an anonymous drawing depicting a scene from the Book of Exodus, specifically the gathering of manna, a miraculous food source provided to the Israelites during their journey through the wilderness. The drawing features a central figure, likely Moses, who is seated and gesturing towards the sky, with a group of Israelites around him. It highlights the biblical narrative of the Israelites' dependence on God's provision during their journey, and showcases a dynamic composition with figures engaged in various activities. The drawing, executed in brown ink on paper, is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, providing a glimpse into the artistic interpretations of biblical narratives throughout history.
