Sketch For Striking The Rock
A large sketch on canvas depicting the biblical episode of the striking of the rock. The thirsty Hebrew people in the desert are saved by Moses, who brings forth a spring of water by striking a rock with his staff. This subject has been depicted many times, particularly following Poussin’s example in French history painting, as it allows for the expression of the diverse emotions of the scene’s numerous protagonists.
The painting is unsigned and has been re-stretched. It has small areas of loss and chipping in certain places. It is sold unframed.
