In Fig. 41, Cleopatra is shown standing in front of an elaborately carved Egyptian temple. She holds a sistrum (a musical instrument used in religious rituals) in her right hand. The vase is marked on the base: "THOMAS WEBB 8c SONS / GEM / CAMEO / W2848 CLEOPATRA." FIG. 40 (left). Venus and Cupid, carved by George Woodall, 1884. FIG. 41. Cleopatra, carved by George Woodall, 1896.
11 m m FIG. 42. A Maid of Athens, by Thomas and George Woodall. 46 This is a fine example of the work of Thomas and George Woodall when they worked as partners. Thomas Woodall (1849-1926), George's elder brother, was also a skilled cameo carver. When the two brothers collaborated on a piece, George carved or completed carving the figures and Thomas designed and carved the borders. The Woodalls signed pieces jointly from about 1880 to 1895, when, for unknown reasons, they quarreled. This is a well-documented example of their collaboration, since the base is signed "T. 8c G. WOODALL. DES. & SCULPS." The base also bears the impressed mark "THOMAS WEBB & SONS / GEM / CAMEO."
