EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Cleopatra, as imagined by H Rider Haggard and brought to life through the intricate artistry of Richard Caton Woodville. The engraving depicts a scene from Haggard's renowned novel "Cleopatra" published in 1889. In this mesmerizing illustration, we see Cleopatra seated on a beautifully carved chair, adorned in priestly robes that exude her regal presence. Her head is turned slightly, perhaps lost in deep thought or contemplating her next move. The sightless orbs of her father, Amenemhat, are skillfully depicted on the carven furniture behind her, serving as a haunting reminder of her lineage and destiny. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable; every fold of fabric and expression on Cleopatra's face tells a story. It transports us back to ancient Egypt and immerses us in the world of one of history's most enigmatic figures. This print not only showcases Woodville's exceptional talent but also pays homage to Haggard's literary genius. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and how it can be brought to life through visual art. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within a private collection, this enchanting engraving invites viewers into an evocative world where beauty meets intrigue and history intertwines with imagination.
