EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil drawing by Willem de Famars Testas, titled "Merchant ship from the time of Thotmes III," is a stunning representation of a merchant ship depicted in an ancient Egyptian bas-relief from the 15th century BC, located in Queen Hatshepsut's temple at Deir-al-Bahari in Egypt. The temple, also known as the Temple of Hatshepsut or Deir el Bahari, is a remarkable architectural and artistic achievement of the 18th Dynasty, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of ancient Egypt. The drawing, created between 1858 and 1860, is a testament to Testas' exceptional artistic skills as he meticulously recreated the intricate details of the original bas-relief. The merchant ship, with its graceful sails and ornate decorations, is depicted against a backdrop of a tranquil landscape, with figures of people and other boats in the foreground. The drawing is reminiscent of the Dutch orientalist style, which was popular during the 19th century, and reflects the European fascination with the exotic allure of ancient Egypt. The original bas-relief, which is believed to date back to the time of Thotmes III, is a significant historical artifact that provides valuable insights into ancient Egyptian shipbuilding techniques and maritime trade. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, is an essential addition to any collection of ancient Egyptian art or maritime history. The intricate details of the drawing, from the textured sails to the individual figures, are a testament to Testas' exceptional drafting abilities. The use of pencil and paper adds to the drawing's authenticity and creates a sense of intimacy, as if the viewer is peering into the past and witnessing history firsthand.
