EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A queen stands smelling fragrance burnt, ancient Egypt 1928" we are transported back to the elegance and beauty of ancient Egypt. The scene depicts a queen standing before a large amphora, delicately inhaling the scent of burnt fragrance. Her regal presence is enhanced by her surroundings - the moonlight casting a soft glow on her figure as she is serenaded by a musician playing the harp. Created by Art Deco master George Barbier, this Smithsonian-process colour print captures the essence of Egyptian royalty and sophistication. It was originally featured in Richard le Galliennes Romance of Perfume, published by Hudnut in New York in 1928. The image evokes a sense of mystery and imagination as we imagine ourselves immersed in this ancient world. The intricate details of the ceramic vase and the flowing robes worn by both figures showcase Barbier's skill as an illustrator. This artwork not only celebrates beauty but also highlights the importance placed on scents and fragrances in ancient Egyptian culture. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people sought ways to enhance their personal allure through perfume. As we admire this exquisite print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let it transport us to a time when queens ruled with grace and elegance while surrounded by artistry and music.
