The painting titled 'Moses breaks Tablets of Law' vividly captures the moment of divine anger when Moses, clad in traditional attire, shatters the paper Tablets containing the Ten Commandments. Created as a form of Religious painting, it employs a style reminiscent of Naïve art (primitivism), with bold lines and simplified forms emphasizing the emotional intensity. The artwork, possibly executed through lithography, captures a pivotal biblical event, illustrating divine wrath and human frailty in a compelling, primitive manner.
