Description

This is quite possibly his single most famous piece... the artist's "Mona Lisa"... the enigmatic, beloved, and often imitated "Egyptian Queen" herself, a haunting image that legions of admirers have returned to time and time again. The Egyptian Queen first appeared in print as the cover for Eerie magazine #23 in mid-1969, and as multiple prints and posters over subsequent decades. The luster of the paint, especially on the marble column and the supple form of the Queen herself, created an amazingly realistic and almost hypnotizing effect... pulling the viewer into the world of Queen Nefera. Her lovely printed skirt, a veritable peacock's plume, drapes seductively down the steps in this incredibly powerful and lushly painted composition.

This piece sold for a World Record price of $5,400,000 in our 2019 May Signature Auction.
