About the Item
Rendered with reverent precision, this hand-signed 1996 depiction of the Great Sphinx of Giza emerges from its papyrus canvas in a luminous tableau of ancient mystique and modern artistry. Created in Cairo by Monsef Labib, the piece is executed with a tactile fusion of gouache and gold leaf—imbuing the figure with dimensional depth and otherworldly radiance. The elements of 3D impressionism beckon the viewer to shift perspective, as light animates the gilded contours of the Sphinx’s features and the subtly textured fibers beneath.
Measuring approximately 39.88 inches high × 32.88 inches wide × 1.25 inches deep (roughly 101.3 cm × 83.5 cm × 3.2 cm), the piece commands significant wall presence without overpowering—an emblematic window into Egypt’s mythic legacy. The work is hand-signed and dated “1996” by Labib, a marker of authenticity and creative provenance that fortifies its collectible value.
The frame carries minor signs of age—some faint scratches that lend vintage gravitas rather than detract. The artwork itself remains fully intact, the papyrus pristine, ready to hang and captivate.
This work is more than décor—it is a cultural dialogue, channeling both the enduring monumentality of Egyptian heritage and a contemporary artist’s delicate interpretive hand. For collectors who value narrative artistry, cultural resonance, and material rarity, this Sphinx delivers presence, influence, and ancient symbolism in a refined, tactile form.
Magical depiction of the Sphinx at Giza in Egypt as interpreted by artist Monsef Labib. Handcrafted in Cairo on genuine papyrus with intricate details, this 3-D impressionism is applied in gold leaf and gouache. It measures nearly 40" x 33". This piece is an original and hand signed and dated by Mosef Labib "1996".
