1548
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Finding of Moses is a 1548 ink by Augustin Hirschvogel, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows three women in long robes standing near a riverbank. One holds a baby wrapped in cloth, while another points toward the water. On the right, a woman in a hat sits by the river, holding a basket. The scene has tall trees and wavy lines for water. The text below is in German and seems to tell a story about hiding a child by the river. This is likely a biblical scene.
