Pharaoh’s Daughter Discovers Moses in the Rush Basket — Moyses van Wtenbrouck

Moyses van Wtenbrouck. Painted c. 1625 - c. 1627.

Together with her entourage, Pharaoh’s daughter bathes in the Nile. There they find the infant Moses in a rush basket, barely visible here between two nude women. Wtenbrouck included a statue of a sphinx with a dog’s head in the foreground and an obelisk in the background to indicate that this biblical story takes place in Egypt.
