The image depicts a black and white drawing of a scene with four women and a baby. The women are dressed in long-sleeved, flowing clothing and have curly hair. One woman is kneeling on the ground with her arm extended over the water, reaching for the baby. Two women are standing behind her, looking down at the baby. A fourth woman is mostly obscured behind the two standing women. The baby is lying in a basket or cradle in the water, with their arms raised. There are plants and vegetation around the edge of the water. The background shows a rocky area with more plants and trees. The artist's signature appears in the bottom-left corner. The title of the piece is "Moses Saved from the Nile" and the artist is Bartolomeo Biscaino.
