Gezicht op de waterbron van Mara 1672

This 1672 etching by Flemish artist Gaspar Bouttats depicts the biblical story of the "Bitter Springs of Marah." The artwork, titled "Gezicht op de waterbron van Mara," showcases the water source's location within a mountainous landscape. The print shows a caravan of people, likely Israelites, passing through the landscape, with the Red Sea and a small village in the background. The scene is rendered with careful detail, typical of Dutch Golden Age engraving, and offers a visual interpretation of a significant biblical event.
