From left to right, the three Queens of the Nile portrayed here are the Ptolemaic Cleopatra VII (69-30 BC), the Egyptian Pharaoh Hatshepsut (1507-1458 BC), and the Kushite Kentake Amanirenas (50 BC-10 AD). The composition for this piece was inspired by the cover art for the music album “Destiny Fulfilled” by the all-female group Destiny’s Child (the group Beyonce used to be a part of).
