The biblical episode represented in this painting is the one related to the rescuing of Moses from the Nile’s waters by the daughter of the Pharaoh. The painter was very clever portraying the different feelings of the maids, who are showing the baby to the princess and give a strong narrative and didactic value thanks to their attitudes and glances. The precious frame, golden and carved, is original.
