About this work
In the desert the Israelites fought the tribe of Amalek. On the left on a hill Moses, Aaron and Hur. As long as Moses held his arms up, the Israelites had the upper hand, but as soon as he let them down, they were driven back. When Moses became tired, Aaron and Hur let him sit on a stone and supported his arms until the end of the day, when Amalek was defeated. The print is part of an album.
