Moses and Jethro's Daughter

Cleveland Museum of Art

A tapestry depicting a scene from 'Moses and Jethro's Daughter' by an unknown artist. The dominant figure is a man sitting on one knee with his elbow resting on the other knee. The man has short, reddish-brown hair styled behind his ears and a beard. He wears a beige tunic with long sleeves and a blue cloak draped over his shoulders. In the foreground, the man holds a book in one hand. The background shows a landscape with trees, hills, and several people engaged in various activities. The tapestry has a thick, beige border with a leaf-like pattern. The color palette includes shades of beige, blue, green, and yellow. The man sitting appears contemplative or reflective. The tapestry appears to be hung on a wall with red objects visible on the right side.
