Artist
Nina M. Davies
British, 1881–1965
Nina M. Davies was a British Byzantine icon painting artist. 79 works are cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art. Nina M. Davies was born in Thessaloniki.
The Egyptologists Nina M. Davies (6 January 1881 – 21 April 1965) and Norman de Garis Davies (1865–5 November 1941) were a married couple of illustrators and copyists who worked in the early and mid-twentieth century drawing and recording paintings in Egypt. Their work was often published together, as N. de Garis Davies, and so it is usually difficult to determine who drew which illustration.
