Rameses II 1909

"Rameses II" is a 1909 etching by Scottish artist David Young Cameron (1865-1945), showcasing a profile view of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh. The intricate details of the pharaoh's headdress and the stark contrast between the dark lines of the figure and the light background give the artwork a sense of depth and realism. This piece is a striking example of Cameron's mastery of the etching technique, which he utilized to capture the grandeur and history of ancient civilizations.
