Baby Moses Placed in the Nile by his Parents, 1672, engraved after Nicolas Poussin by #ClaudineBouzonnetStella (French, 1636-1697). In the foreground of the engraving, a woman puts a baby in a rush basket into the river; nearby are a few other adults, including a man with a small child. In the background is a castle in a landscape.
