EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Cleopatra, known as "The Serpent of Old Nile" in all her regal glory. Created by artist Arthur Percy Dixon in 1925, this portrait showcases the beauty and power of one of history's most iconic women. Set against the backdrop of a serene river, Cleopatra stands tall on a royal galley, exuding confidence and grace. Her vibrant red attire symbolizes her status as a queen and adds a touch of drama to the scene. Surrounded by attendants who cater to her every need, she commands attention with an air of authority. The image transports us back to ancient Egypt during the Ptolemaic period, where Cleopatra reigned supreme. The flowing waters represent the mighty Nile River that played a vital role in Egyptian civilization and served as both a geographical feature and metaphor for life itself. As we gaze upon this stunning portrayal, we are reminded not only of Cleopatra's historical significance but also her enduring allure throughout literature and art. This print is part of Cassells Romance of Famous Lives series curated by Harold Wheeler in 1925 - an era when Egyptology was at its peak. With its rich colors and meticulous details, this artwork serves as a testament to Arthur Percy Dixon's talent as well as his dedication to capturing the spirit of famous figures from history. It is truly an exquisite piece that brings together artistry, culture, and history into one captivating frame.
