1690 Biblical Guest Kings Kneeling Sheba Solomon Testament Throne Visiting Visitor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th-century print depicts the legendary encounter between the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon as described in the Old Testament book of 1 Kings 10. The Queen of Sheba, a wealthy and powerful monarch from the ancient kingdom of Sheba in modern-day Ethiopia, embarked on a long journey to Jerusalem to test King Solomon's wisdom, renowned throughout the ancient world. Upon her arrival, she was left speechless by the splendor and wealth of Solomon's kingdom, as well as his wisdom and knowledge. In this image, the Queen of Sheba is shown kneeling before Solomon on his ornate throne, her hands folded in reverence. She is accompanied by a retinue of women, dressed in rich robes and bearing gifts. Solomon, dressed in royal attire, sits regally on his throne, his expression one of gracious welcome and curiosity. The intricate details of the print, from the ornate throne to the delicate folds of the Queen's garments, transport us back to a time of grandeur and wonder. The print is a testament to the enduring fascination with the biblical story of the Queen of Sheba's visit to King Solomon, a tale of power, wealth, and wisdom that continues to captivate and inspire.
