"Egypte" is an etching from the series *Jeu de la Géographie*, created by Florentine artist Stefano della Bella in 1644. The print depicts a female figure representing Egypt, wearing a headdress and traditional garb, holding a staff, and standing with a flowing cloak. This is one of a series of allegorical figures representing various regions of the world, which would have been used for educational purposes. Della Bella, known for his mastery of line and detail, skillfully captures the essence of Egypt in this image, which can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
