The artwork titled “Moses” was created by the artist James Tissot around the years c.1896 – c.1902 using gouache on board. It belongs to the Symbolism art movement and falls under the religious painting genre. The artwork measures 22.3 x 10.8 cm.
The artwork depicts Moses, a central figure in religious contexts, rendered with a serene and contemplative demeanor. Moses is portrayed wearing traditional and modest clothing, including a white tunic-like garment with an outer robe, and his long, flowing beard cascades down his chest. His posture is composed and dignified, with his hands clasped loosely in front of him. The background of the artwork is minimalistic, allowing the focus to remain entirely on the figure of Moses, emphasizing his significance and spiritual presence. The subtle use of color and shading enhances the solemn and reflective mood of the piece.
