Moses Brought to Pharaoh's Daughter

William Hogarth and Luke Sullivan

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a group of figures in various poses. A woman is seated on the left, turned to the right, with composed facial features and styled hair. She wears a flowing gown. Next to her, an older man and a younger woman stand, facing her. The man has a beard and wears a hat, while the woman holds small objects. A child stands between them, looking at the seated woman. The child has curly hair and is barefoot. In the background are architectural elements like columns, a curtain, and distant buildings, creating a classical atmosphere.
