About this work
Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, visits him in the desert and gives him advice on the organization of the administration of justice. The two embrace. Jethro has brought Moses' wife, his daughter Zipporah, and her two sons. They stand to the right. To the left Moses judges the people of Israel. Below the scene two four-line verses in Latin and a reference to the biblical text in Ex. 18.
