About the Item

Title: Detailed 1805 Engraving of Ancient Statues and Deities from Bertuch’s Work Description: This captivating engraving, sourced from Friedrich Justin Bertuch’s *Porte-Feuille des Enfants* (Children's Portfolio), published in 1805, presents a series of ancient statues and deities from various cultures. Each figure is rendered with remarkable precision, offering a glimpse into historical artistic representations of mythological and religious iconography. The plate features: - Fig. 1: A standing Egyptian deity or pharaoh, showcasing the characteristic style of ancient Egyptian sculpture. - Fig. 2: A seated Egyptian goddess, possibly Isis, holding symbolic objects. - Fig. 3: An Egyptian figure with a sun disc, likely Hathor or another deity associated with the sun. - Fig. 4: A deity or warrior figure with a unique headdress, reflecting cultural symbolism. - Fig. 5: A representation of a hybrid figure or deity, blending human and divine attributes. - Fig. 6: A seated classical figure, potentially a Greek or Roman god, holding a staff. - Fig. 7: A cherubic figure entwined with symbolic elements like a snake and other animals, indicative of mythological themes. - Fig. 8: A reclining figure amidst sheaves, possibly symbolizing fertility or harvest. This plate reflects Enlightenment-era curiosity about ancient civilizations and their artistic heritage, making it an excellent piece for collectors of antiquities, mythology, or historical art. Condition: Light foxing and minor toning along edges; the engraving retains its sharp details and historical charm.
