Moses Supposes His Toeses Are Roses

Old Man with Rose Toes - Biblical Moses?

ECLIPSE Image Number 00480011

This illustration is unusual in its possible allusion to the Biblical Moses. Most artists envision Moses as a very young child, but here we see an older, probably Middle Eastern, man. Everything in this image forces the eye to move to the spray of roses attached to his toe.
