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 from painted limestone, this delicate piece is an extraordinary example of Egyptian artistry and craftsmanship. Measuring at a height of 15.4 cm, this bust captures the beauty and elegance of a female figure from the renowned 18th Dynasty. The princess's plaited hair, meticulously detailed eyebrows, and carefully applied make-up highlight her regal status within society. The sculpture belongs to the Amarna period, characterized by its distinctive artistic style under Pharaoh Amenophis IV (Akhenaten). This period marked a departure from traditional Egyptian norms as it embraced more naturalistic representations. Adorned with an intricately designed wig and enhanced by kohl-lined eyes, this head radiates grace and sophistication. Its presence evokes curiosity about who this princess might have been - possibly a daughter or another close relative of Akhenaten himself. Currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in ancient history while marveling at its timeless beauty. As part of Bridgeman Images' collection, this photograph preserves not only the physicality but also the cultural significance behind such remarkable works of art for generations to come.
