The Sacred Lioness | Egyptian Watercolour Canvas Print by Alexandra Adams
Before We Forgot Collection
There is a quiet power in her gaze.
Neither fierce nor fearful, she sits in unwavering stillness — a guardian shaped by devotion, wisdom and strength. Inspired by the ancient lioness figures of Egypt, this artwork honours the timeless understanding that true courage is not found in dominance, but in protection, compassion and presence.
Created from an original photograph captured by Alexandra Adams, this artwork has been transformed through a delicate contemporary watercolour process. Soft washes of pigment and refined linework preserve the spirit of the ancient sculpture while inviting a more intimate, contemplative encounter with the past.
Part of the Before We Forgot Collection, The Sacred Lioness reflects upon the intelligence of those who came before us — civilisations that looked to the heavens, revered the mysteries of existence and recognised that humanity was part of something far greater than itself.
Today, as we once again question our place within an expanding universe and explore ideas of consciousness, intelligent life and the unknown, this piece offers a gentler lesson from antiquity:
That strength need not be loud.
That wisdom can coexist with tenderness.
And that perhaps the most enduring form of power is the courage to protect what we love while remaining open to mystery.
A timeless artwork for those drawn to symbolism, spirituality and the quiet resilience of the human spirit.
Before we forgot, we understood that courage and compassion were never opposites.
