"Mozes vertrekt uit Egypte en neemt het lichaam van Jozef mee" is an engraving by Christoffel van (II) Sichem, created sometime between 1645 and 1740. The work depicts a biblical scene from Exodus in which Moses, leading the Israelites out of Egypt, carries the bones of Joseph with him. The piece showcases a detailed depiction of the journey, highlighting Moses, Joseph, and the Israelites, as well as a mountainous landscape, all encompassed within a frame of text. The engraving uses a hatched and cross-hatched style to render detail in the figures and the landscape. The etching, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an excellent example of 17th-century illustrative engraving.
