An Enchanting Evening of Art and Elegance: Annie Raven-Hill as Cleopatra at the Artists Ball, 1910 This photograph captures the essence of an enchanting evening at the Artists Ball held at the Grafton Galleries in 1910. The image features Annie Raven-Hill, the charming wife of renowned Punch artist Leonard Raven-Hill, gracefully dressed as the ancient Egyptian queen, Cleopatra. Annie's exquisite costume, adorned with golden accessories and a striking headdress, perfectly embodies the regal and alluring character of Cleopatra. Her enchanting presence is further accentuated by the rich, velvety fabric of her gown and the intricate detailing of her jewelry. The Artists Ball was an annual event that brought together the most creative minds of the art world, providing an opportunity for them to mingle, network, and showcase their work.

Annie Raven-Hill's attendance at the event, dressed as the legendary queen, added an air of excitement and mystery to the evening. Her commitment to the theme and her ability to captivate the room with her beauty and charm are evident in this stunning photograph. This image serves as a testament to the power of art, creativity, and the transformative nature of fancy dress.
