sale description Dutch School ca. 1690: Two Scenes from the Life of Moses, Engravings

Beautiful images from 17th century Netherlands, by illustrating a powerful Old Testament story: on the top of the sheet, Pharaoh\'s daughter finds the infant Moses in the bullrushes.

And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi. 2 So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months. 3 But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank. 4 And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him.

5 Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it. 6 And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”

Down below, we see her and the child Moses before Pharaoh.

These engravings illustrate a Dutch translation of Josephus\' \"History of the Jews,\" and you will get some of that text as a bonus. The page (handmade paper with chainlines) measures measures about 15 inches by 9.4 inches. There is a little paper toning, and a pinhole in one place. Condition and appearance are otherwise quite good. Nice art, at a minimal price. Shipping will be $5 within the U.S.
