About this work
View of the water source of Mabelouch. In the times of Moses, the water source was called Mara. During the Exodus from Egypt, Moses made this water source sweet instead of bitter by a miracle (Exodus 15:22). In the background to the right, the Red Sea, and to the left, the road to Mount Sinai. In the foreground, a well where a caravan is replenishing its supplies. The print has a Dutch inscription with references to buildings and places on the print.
