About this work

In the foreground on the right, a group of Israelites safely cross the Red Sea with the help of Moses. Moses stretches out his arm and causes the water of the sea to flow back, drowning Pharaoh's army. In the background on the left, drowning soldiers, horses, and camels. Biblical verse below the image. Print is part of an album.
