CHARLES K. WILKINSON. Queen Nefertari being led by Isis

Queen Nefertari being led by Isis. Artist: Charles K. Wilkinson. Dimensions: facsimile: h. 70 cm (27 9/16 in); w. 46 cm (18 1/8 in)
scale approximately 1:3
framed: h. 73.7 cm (29 in); w. 49.5 cm (19 1/2 in). Dynasty: Dynasty 19. Reign: reign of Ramesses II. Date: ca. 1279-1213 B.C..
Nefertari was the main wife of pharaoh Ramses II and her tomb with its vivid wall paintings is one of the most beautiful tombs in Egypt. This watercolor copy depicts the queen (left) being led by the goddess Isis (right). Noteworthy is that Nefertari's husband, Ramses II, is absent in these scenes, indicating the queen's high status that allowed her to directly interact with the deities without him; such depictions would not be possible for non-royal individuals.
