The child Moses given 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; to left, two female attendants, one black and one white, the former evidently revealing the child's identity to her colleague; the scene is identified as being in Egypt by a small crocodile and an Egyptian figure beneath the throne, and in the background pyramids and a sphinx; proof before letters.  1752
<br>Etching and engraving, touches of grey wash on the face of Pharaoh's daughter.
