Explore the Description of this artwork, Moses and his Ethiopian wife Zipporah.
Moses, a white man with dark hair, stands in the foreground, his right hand palm up and his left hand on the Tablets of Stone. The tablets are in shadow, their contents, the Ten Commandments, are unreadable. Behind him to his right stands his wife, a black woman—possibly Zipporah. Her right hand is to her chest. The ribbons in her hat resemble a cross.: 247
