In ancient times, Egyptian society depended upon the Nile River for its existence. The scene of the painting here depicts a beautiful half naked young Nubian female standing on the bank of the river Nile “Iteru-aa”, amongst ancient ruins rising from desert sands.
The mood of the picture is a hot desert day, the Nubian female in the centre of the Egyptian scene is dressed in a short squire piece of cloth with tassels dangling from its lower edge, bare chested wearing a large armlets, beads and bracelets. She leans on an ancient rock marked with Egyptian hieroglyphs, a brown water pot rests on top of the rock, behind her among the Egyptian ruins are a flock of flamingos. In the background, a beautiful view along the river Nile with a Felucca boat, the tall pyramids stand in the far distance.
Dans les temps anciens, la société égyptienne dépendait du Nil pour son existence. La scène du tableau représente ici une belle jeune femme nubienne à moitié nue debout sur la rive du Nil "Iteru-aa", parmi les ruines antiques s'élevant des sables du désert.
La fille nubienne au centre de la scène égyptienne est vêtue d'un petit morceau de tissu écuyer avec des glands qui pendent de son bord inférieur, torse nu portant de grands bracelets, des perles et des bracelets. Elle s'appuie sur un rocher ancien marqué de hiéroglyphes égyptiens, une marmite brune repose sur le rocher, derrière elle, parmi les ruines égyptiennes, un troupeau de flamants roses. Au fond, une belle vue le long du Nil avec un bateau en felouque, les hautes pyramides se dressent au loin.
This artwork is one of a kind by artist R M Lawrence.

About the Artist
English autodidactic painter, born in London, grew up in the 1960's Shoreditch, London.
Her artistic influence expanded and blossomed with the introduction of Orientalism in art in the early 1980's. Beautifully vibrant and lush, she populated a series of Middle East, Orientalist scenes in Watercolour by famous artists Giulio Rosati and Antonio Gargiullo.
By the late 1980's she developed her own style, painting more in oils extending her skills to commissioned work for friends, painting their favourite subjects. In the 1990's a window opened to assist at a local community Sunday art club at Napier Grove N1, run by artists for the local community, thus proving opportunity to interact with other artists an opportunity to network, show and exhibit her works at the club, with encouragement to show and sell her paintings to a wider audience.
