Description |
English: The child Moses given up by his mother (who has been acting as wet nurse) to the daughter of Pharaoh (Exodus, ii.10; after the painting in the Foundling Museum); to right, the mother/nurse is being paid by a steward; to left, two female attendants, one black and one white, the former evidently revealing the child's identity to her colleague; the scene is identified as being in Egypt by a small crocodile and an Egyptian figure beneath the throne, and in the background pyramids and a sphinx; proof before letters. 1752
Etching and engraving, touches of grey wash on the face of Pharaoh's daughter. |

Notes |
The print was sold as a pair with 'Paul before Felix' (Paulson 192); for further comment on the publication see Cc,2.217. The Egyptian figure beneath the throne is a very free version of a royal statue showing the king kneeling holding either an offering tabel or a naos (Richard Parkinson, 13.ii.2004). An offset of another impression of the print appears on the verso as if one impression were placed on top of another when still wet. |

editThis image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
