EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cleopatra" transports us back to the ancient world of Egypt. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II after H Rider Haggard's renowned novel, this print is a testament to the power and allure of one of history's most enigmatic figures. In this scene, Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Egypt, is depicted with an air of regality and mystery. Her dark hair cascades down her brow in a sweeping fashion, perfectly framing her sacred features. Arrayed in royal attire, she exudes confidence and authority befitting her status. The focal point of this illustration lies in Cleopatra's hand - delicately holding a glistening snake. This reptile symbolizes both danger and wisdom; it serves as a reminder that even royalty can possess hidden secrets and temptations. Woodville's masterful technique brings out every intricate detail: from the texture on Cleopatra's skin to the ringed patterns on the serpent’s body. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition while enhancing its dramatic effect. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from our private collection, we are transported into an era where beauty intertwined with power. It reminds us that legends like Cleopatra continue to captivate our imaginations centuries later – their stories forever etched within our cultural consciousness.
