The Lyon variant
One variant painted c.1581 is now in the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon. It is the smallest (119 by 115 cm) of eight works by him and his studio showing the finding of Moses - art historians often consider it to be the preparatory sketch for the variant in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden (178 by 277 cm).
