Faraos datter finder Moses i sivene 1611 - 1698

This drawing, "Faraos datter finder Moses i sivene," whose author and date remain unknown, presents a scene rendered in sanguine and graphite on paper. The composition centers on a group of figures whose forms emerge from a flurry of lines, imbuing the scene with dynamic energy. The artist’s marks coalesce into a structured narrative space, despite their seeming spontaneity. The figures are arranged in a manner that guides our gaze, inviting us to piece together the story of Pharaoh's daughter discovering Moses.

The sketch challenges conventional ideas about representation, embracing process and flux. The drawing’s open-ended nature invites endless interpretations, echoing our own role in constructing meaning from fragmented forms.
