- Abstract
-
The child Moses is being delivered up by his mother (who has been acting as wet nurse) to the daughter of Pharaoh (Exodus, ii.10; after the painting in the Foundling Museum); to right, the mother/nurse is being paid by a steward as her son clings to her and looks at his adoptive mother warily; to left, two female attendants, one a Nubian slave whispers the secret of Moses identity to her colleague. The scene is identified as being in Egypt by a small crocodile and an Egyptian figure with a snake wrapped around its torso beneath the throne; in the left corner an incense burner. In the background are pyramids and a sphinx.
