About the Portrait
A blend that may seem paradoxical—a meeting of conflicting eras and cultures. Yet, beneath this unexpected fusion, we discover that both women, though separated by millennia, used their image to shape a specific public persona. This portrait invites us to reflect on how the power of imagery has been harnessed throughout history as a compelling tool to shape our perceptions.
