This print showcases a remarkable limestone tomb stele from the Hellenistic Period in Cyprus. The relief depicts a bearded banqueter, elegantly seated with a boy attendant by his side and a regal woman sitting opposite him. The intricate carving brings to life the scene of an intimate banquet, where the banqueter enjoys his meal while being attended to by his loyal servant. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this sculpture. From the delicate facial features of each figure to their carefully crafted clothing, it is clear that great skill was employed in its creation. The composition exudes elegance and sophistication, capturing the essence of Hellenistic art. Displayed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this masterpiece stands tall at 192x64 cm, demanding admiration from all who lay eyes upon it.
