God Appearing to Moses

About this work

This engraving shows a dramatic scene with a bearded man kneeling on rocky ground, his head bowed as if listening. Behind him, a young shepherd tends sheep in a hilly landscape with distant buildings. To the right, a winged figure hovers near a tree, while another man crouches nearby, holding a staff. The Latin text at the bottom hints this is a biblical story—likely God speaking to Moses. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, making the figures look three-dimensional.
