EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Head of King Djedefre" from Abu Roash, dating back to the Old Kingdom period in ancient Egypt, approximately between 2565-2558 BC. Crafted out of quartzite, this exquisite sculpture stands at a height of 26.5 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Louvre museum in Paris, France. The headcloth worn by King Djedefre, known as nemes, adds an air of regality to his bust. The intricate details carved into this piece highlight the skill and artistry of Egyptian sculptors during the 4th Dynasty (c. 2613-2498 BC). The presence of the uraeus - a cobra symbolizing royalty - further emphasizes his status as pharaoh. King Djedefre was not only a son but also a successor to Khufu (also known as Cheops), one of Egypt's most renowned pharaohs. This portrait captures his masculine features with great precision and serves as a testament to ancient Egyptian portraiture. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art masterpieces like this one, viewers can appreciate every detail and nuance present in this stunning sculpture.
