The elaborate attire is depicted in stunning detail, capturing the essence of this historical figure. Created by Philippe Chery and engraved by Pierre Michel Alix in 1802, this colored engraving beautifully brings to life the elegance and grandeur of Berenice's regal presence. The image portrays Berenice as a queen of Palestine, exuding power and grace. Her majestic gown flows gracefully around her, adorned with intricate patterns that reflect her royal status. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold and embellishment on the dress has been meticulously captured.
