Moses defending the daughters of Jethro

XVI century. Wash, Pencil, White lead, Grey-brown ink, Pencil ground on brown paper.
Not on display

Although the drawing closely reflects Farinati´s style, the weaknesses of handling suggest the work of a studio assistant. The story represented is told in Exodus (2, 11-22).
