EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "When she had opened it, she saw the child" depicts a powerful biblical scene from Exodus, chapter II, verse 6. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, this print beautifully captures the essence of this significant moment. The image portrays a woman opening what appears to be a woven basket or cradle with great anticipation. As her eyes meet the contents within, we witness her astonishment and tenderness as she discovers an infant nestled inside. This poignant scene represents one of the most iconic stories from the Bible – Moses being discovered by Pharaoh's daughter in the Nile River. The artist skillfully conveys both emotion and narrative through their intricate engravings. The attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from delicate folds in fabric to subtle expressions on faces. Through this artwork, viewers are transported back in time to witness this pivotal event firsthand. This engraving not only serves as a visual representation of faith but also reminds us of our shared humanity and compassion for children. It invites contemplation on themes such as motherhood, protection, destiny, and divine intervention. In preserving this historical moment with digital restoration techniques while maintaining its original charm, Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both artistic mastery and religious significance simultaneously.
