The Queen of Sheba Walking on the Waters 1530 - 1535

"The Queen of Sheba Walking on the Waters" is a 16th-century etching by Georges Reverdy. The circular composition features a dramatic depiction of the biblical story of the Queen of Sheba, walking on water with her entourage, while a group of men, perhaps representing Solomon's court, observes from the shore. The detailed depiction of the cityscape in the background adds a sense of grandeur to this small yet powerful print. The artist's masterful use of line and shading conveys both movement and emotion, capturing a key moment in this legendary tale.
