EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Head of a Princess from the family of Akhenaten" during the New Kingdom era in ancient Egypt. Crafted with painted limestone, this masterpiece stands at a height of 15.4 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The delicate features of this bust capture the essence of royalty, as seen through its beautifully plaited hair and meticulously shaped eyebrows. Believed to be possibly one of Akhenaten's daughters, this princess embodies elegance and grace. The artist skillfully portrays every intricate detail, from the carefully applied make-up to the intricately designed wig adorning her head. The use of kohl around her eyes adds an air of mystique and allure to her countenance. Dating back to approximately 1567-1320 BC during the Eighteenth Dynasty, this sculpture represents a significant period known as Amarna Period or New Kingdom in Egyptian history. It serves as a testament to their advanced artistic skills and devotion towards capturing human beauty. Through Peter Willi's lens, we are transported back thousands of years into ancient Egypt where art flourished under pharaohs like Amenophis IV (Akhenaten). This remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and serves as a reminder that true artistry transcends time itself.
