More about Goddess Maat: Harmony and Truth in Art

An oil painting of the Egyptian goddess Maat, depicted as a dark-haired woman with fair skin, in a white flowing garment. She is seated in a carved wooden chair, facing left, with her head and gaze tilted upwards. She wears a golden crown with a prominent feather and a golden swan figure, and earrings in the shape of golden tassels. Her neck is adorned with an elaborate gilded necklace with rows of blue, gold, and red. She wears multiple golden bracelets on both arms, some with blue and red details. In her right hand, she holds a large white feather. To her left is a cream-colored wall covered in hieroglyphs and a painting of a woman with red sun disk on her head and a bird in the bottom left corner. To her right, a large carved column with Egyptian motifs, beyond which a desert city with buildings and palm trees alongside a river are visible under a bright sky. In the foreground, a framed sign with the word "MAAT" in large letters, followed by "SAGESSE," "VERITE," "HARMONIE," and "ORDRE" in smaller letters.
