A vintage plate of an ancient Egyptian wall painting showing the young pharaoh Amenhotep II seated on the lap of his royal nurse. He wears a blue crown and a broad collar, she wears a long black wig and a white dress, and a small row of captive figures lies beneath their feet. A bird and lines of hieroglyphs fill the top, and the whole scene is wrapped in a colourful patterned border. Warm reds, blues and creams on aged paper, with fine French captions at the foot, give it the look of a 19th-century archaeology print. Lovely in a living room or study. Printed on premium matte paper for a crisp, high-quality finish.
