Seated Egyptian ruler in white robes, with men raising their arms before a gilded chariot and columns.

Joseph Dwelleth in Egypt

Seated on an ornate throne-like chair, a man in a white kilt and Egyptian headdress gazes over a crowd of shirtless men who raise their arms toward him. Behind them, a gilded chariot with a red and gold canopy and tall poles stands before colonnaded buildings, while baskets of grain sit in the foreground.
