Heya friend here's your answer...

In the story, 'Ozymandias', the fallen kingdom's residues explain that the king was the most egoistic and dominant in the whole reign. One of his possessions i.e. his statue itself explains the pen portrait of the king. Even the artist mocked him by shaping and serving a king in a frowning image to explain his way to the future. The inscribed text, "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings, look upon my works ye mighty and despair" is in itself a representation of the dictator.

Hope this helps..... ☺️☺️☺️

Answer:

The wrinkled lip denotes a dismissive attitude and arrogance. The icy command sneer represents contempt, arrogance, and pride, and reveals much about the king's pompous nature. The poet has used words like "frown," "wrinkled lip," and "sneer of frigid authority" to convey the sense that the statue's subject, Ozymandias the king, was an angry, domineering, and frequently agitated man. Its purpose is to hint about the ruler's personality.

Explanation:

The speaker recounts meeting a visitor "from an antique place" who told him a story about the remnants of a statue in his own country's desert. Two massive stone legs stand without a body, and a massive, crumbling stone head lies "half sunk" in the sand nearby. According to the traveller, the scowl and "sneer of frigid command" on the statue's face show that the sculptor was well aware of the emotions (or "passions") of the statue's subject. Even if both the sculptor and his subject are now deceased, the recollection of those feelings remains "imprinted" on the lifeless statue. The phrases "My name is Ozymandias, ruler of kings: / Look on my pedestal" appear on the pedestal of the statue.
