About this work
In the center, the bronze serpent attached to a pole. Moses points to the bronze serpent. Around the bronze serpent are men, women, and children bitten by poisonous snakes, looking up at the bronze serpent to stay alive. In the background, the Israelite camp. Below the image, a Latin reference to the biblical text in Numbers 21. Print is part of an album.
