About the piece

Created by an anonymous French master in the mid-17th century, this painting captures the dramatic encounter between Moses and the daughters of Jethro. The composition is characterized by its fluid movement, rich Baroque palette of deep reds and blues, and a soft, atmospheric landscape that reflects the era's classical influence on French painting.
