In this engraving, Moses and Aaron are depicted standing before the Pharaoh, who sits on a throne. The scene is set in a grand, open room with arches and a tiled floor. A snake lies coiled on the floor, and a dog is seen in the foreground. The engraving features intricate cross-hatching, which creates a sense of depth and texture. The artist's use of light and shadow adds to the dramatic effect of the scene. This engraving is a fine example of Renaissance art, and it can be found at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
