Moses praying to end the serpents’ attack on the Israelites (folio 63 verso), from a Mirror of Holiness (Mir’at al-quds) of Father Jerome Xavier
A painting depicts a man sitting on a rock with hands outstretched in prayer. He wears brown robes with a long grey beard and hair. Eight people are below him, facing him with hands raised. Some wear turbans; one man on the bottom right is red with snakes on his body and another man on the bottom left with snakes wrapped around his body lying on the ground. Trees and rocks are behind the figures; a green hillside and buildings are in the background. The painting has a tan border with gold, blue, and red lines.
