Finding of Moses (Auffindung des Moses) is a 1920 ink by Otto Mueller, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows three nude figures in a wooded area. The woman on the right holds a baby, while a man stands nearby with his arms raised. Tall trees fill the background, made with thick black lines and yellow shading. The baby’s pose and the man’s gesture hint at a moment of discovery. The artist used bold colors and rough edges to create a striking scene. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
Otto Mueller (16 October 1874 – 24 September 1930) was a German painter and printmaker of the Die Brücke expressionist movement.
