EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable statue of a Ptolemaic Queen, believed to be none other than the iconic Cleopatra VII herself. Crafted from dolomitic limestone during the Egyptian Ptolemaic Period (332-30 BC), this exquisite sculpture stands at an impressive 62.5x22x15 cm in size and is currently housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. The regal figure depicted here exudes power and grace, with her profile elegantly captured for eternity. Adorned with a majestic horn-shaped headdress symbolizing her royal status, she holds a cornucopia overflowing with abundance - a testament to her wealth and prosperity as queen. Cleopatra VII Philopator remains one of history's most enigmatic figures, known for her beauty, intelligence, and political prowess. As the last active ruler of the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Egypt before it fell under Roman control, Cleopatra left an indelible mark on ancient history. This stunning statue not only pays homage to Cleopatra but also serves as a reminder of Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Its intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every curve and contour carved into the stone. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing work of art through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to an era when queens ruled mighty empires and their legacies continue to captivate us today.
