Titled "The Great Lawgiver," this picture points to Moses, the figure the Book of Exodus describes receiving the law on Mount Sinai. Religious images like this were widely reproduced in the 19th and early 20th centuries and often hung in homes and Sunday schoolrooms alongside printed texts of the Ten Commandments and the Lord's Prayer, which is why it appears on this board. Look for how the artist shows Moses as both a prophet and a teacher, with the stone tablets as the visual center of the message.
