"Pharaoh's Daughter: The Finding of Moses" (1886) is a significant work by the British painter Edwin Longsden Long, R.A. (1829–1891), that delves into the biblical narrative of the discovery of Moses in the bulrushes by the Pharaoh's daughter, as recounted in the Book of Exodus. This painting stands as a testament to Long's fascination with Orientalist themes and his meticulous attention to historical and cultural detail, characteristics that define much of his oeuvre.

The artwork, executed in oil on canvas, is notable for its grand scale and the elaborate depiction of the Egyptian landscape and figures, which reflect Long's commitment to realism and his adeptness in capturing the intricacies of human emotion and the richness of ancient cultures. The painting portrays the moment when the Pharaoh's daughter, accompanied by her handmaidens, finds the infant Moses hidden among the reeds along the banks of the Nile River. The composition is carefully constructed to guide the viewer's attention towards the central figure of the Pharaoh's daughter, whose expression of compassionate curiosity is masterfully rendered.

Long's work is deeply rooted in the academic art tradition of the 19th century, emphasizing classical beauty, detailed narrative storytelling, and the exploration of historical and biblical subjects with a moralistic tone. "Pharaoh's Daughter: The Finding of Moses" exemplifies Long's skill in blending these elements with his own personal interest in Egyptology, a field that was gaining significant interest in Europe at the time due to contemporary archaeological discoveries.

The painting was well-received in its time, reflecting the Victorian public's appetite for exotic locales and biblical stories rendered with a mix of accuracy and imaginative embellishment. It contributed to Long's reputation as a leading painter of Orientalist and historical subjects, and remains an important piece within his body of work for its artistic merit and its reflection of 19th-century British cultural and intellectual preoccupations.

Today, "Pharaoh's Daughter: The Finding of Moses" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities and technical prowess but also as a cultural artifact that offers insight into the intersections of art, religion, and imperialism in the late Victorian period. It continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the canon of British art and its portrayal of a pivotal moment in biblical history through the lens of 19th-century sensibilities.
