About this work

Before Pharaoh and his retinue, Moses and Aaron have turned the water of the Nile into blood. The inhabitants of the city stand shocked on the bank of the Nile. On the right the city with a tower and a temple. The print is an imagination of the first plague that God sent upon Egypt.
