EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Nefetari, the beloved queen of Ramses II, as she sits gracefully and indulges in a game of Senat. Dating back to ancient Egypt, this board game is considered a precursor to chess and holds immense historical significance. The image captures Nefetari's regal presence, her serene expression reflecting both concentration and enjoyment. Highlighted in white is her cartouche - an emblematic oval shape that contains her name - symbolizing her royal status and importance. This wall painting originates from Nefetari's tomb in Thebes, where it has withstood the test of time to offer us a glimpse into the past. The scene depicted here not only reveals Nefetari's love for recreation but also provides insight into the leisure activities enjoyed by Egyptian royalty during their reigns. As one of Ramses II's favorite queens, Nefetari played an influential role within his kingdom. Through this mesmerizing photograph, we are transported back thousands of years to witness a moment frozen in history – a queen engrossed in an ancient game that entertained generations before us. It serves as a reminder of our shared human fascination with strategy and competition across cultures and centuries.
