Finding of Moses
1611 - 1614
Rubens captures the dramatic biblical moment when Pharaoh's daughter discovers baby Moses in this lively sketch. The loose, energetic strokes and brown wash show the artist working out the composition, experimenting with how the figures interact and react to the find. It's a peek into the mind of a Baroque master, revealing how he built complex scenes with speed and emotion before creating a final painting.
