Moses and Aaron before Pharaoh, with the Rods Turned into Serpents

Luigi Ademollo

National Gallery of Art

There is a drawing of a scene with multiple figures and snakes. The figures are in an indoor setting, with one central figure seated on a throne-like chair on the left side, engaging with others standing around him. The figures wear different expressions. Several serpents are on the floor. The palette is limited to shades of brown and gray, with fine lines outlining the characters and shadows.
