The scene tells the biblical episode of the book of the exodus in which the little Moses, which the mother had entrusted to the river within a basket to save him from the massacre of Israeli male children (ordered by the pharaoh of Egypt to prevent the Israeli people became too numerous and could rebel against slavery), he is found by an handmaid by his daughter of Faraone himself, who decides to adopt him and saves him. The scene, set along the river, is entirely occupied by the female figures of the princely following, piled up and projected towards the corner at the bottom right where the basket with the newborn is placed. Even all the looks are facing towards the child, in the direction indicated by the arm led by the woman in the foreground on the right. The roundabouts of the female forms stand out, especially of the three figures in the foreground, where games of lights and shadows make the incarnati stand out that emerge from the clothes.
