Botticelli
Botticelli "The Trials of Moses" (1481-82) Sistine Chapel, Rome
"Her loosened hair flowing down her cheeks, bending one knee in a slightly balletic pose . . . her head on one side, with those great eyes of hers which seemed so tired and sullen when there was nothing to animate her, she struck Swann by her resemblance to the figure of Zipporah, Jethro's daughter." — Swann's Way


Zipporah
