This print showcases the majestic head of Amenhotep III, an Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh who reigned from 1390 BC to 1352 BC. The photograph was taken in 1936 and is part of a collection held by the British Museum. Carved out of granite, this colossal statue fragment exudes power and grandeur. The intricate details on the king's face are beautifully captured, revealing his regal features and serene expression. It is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of ancient Egyptian sculptors. The image comes from "The Art of Ancient Egypt" a book published by Phaidon Press in Vienna during the 1930s.
