About this work

The Israelites dance around the golden calf while Moses receives the Ten Commandments from God on the mountain. The print is part of a series on the Ten Commandments and depicts a violation of the first commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. A reference to the biblical text in Latin appears in the lower margin. The print is part of an album.
