The painting titled 'Moses is saved from the water by Pharaoh's daughter' is a vivid Religious painting that depicts the biblical moment when the infant Moses is discovered floating in the Nile River. Rendered with a simple, almost naïve style characteristic of Naïve art (primitivism), the scene captures both the innocence of the child and the compassion of Pharaoh’s daughter. Its bold colors and straightforward composition evoke a sense of sincerity often seen in Paper-based artworks or early Lithography. The painting’s raw simplicity invites viewers to reflect on the universal themes of protection and divine intervention.
