La Premiere Plaïe en Egypte (mirrored)

Hand coloured optical view of the first plague of Egypt. The water changes into blood. View of a city on a river. On the left bank Moses strikes the water with his stick. Right on the dock stands the Pharaoh and his entourage. The water is coloured red and dead fish are floating around in it. The surroundings are coloured in light pastel-like colours, while the clothes of the people are of more vibrant colours. ‘B. F.’ monogram hidden in the picture.
