The Finding of Moses is a 1544 ink by Battista Angolo del Moro, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
Battista Angolo del Moro made a crowded etching of Moses being found in the reeds. A basket floats in a river. A woman in fancy dress points at it. Servants and onlookers crowd around. The artist packed tiny figures into one scene. A dog sits near the basket. Details pop out of the shadows. See how he used etching and drypoint together. The lines look sharp where he scratched the plate.
