Papyrus Painting - Queen Nefertiti - Gold on Dark Papyrus
Nefertiti first appears on the scene when she becomes the Great Royal Wife of Akhenaten. Scholars still debate her origins, some believing that she was a princess from another land.She gave birth to six daughters. It is possible that she also had sons, although no record has been found of this.Nefertiti is displayed with a prominence that other Egyptian queens were not. Her name in hieroglyphics is enclosed in a royal cartouche, and there are in fact more statues and drawings of her than of Akhenaten. Some have even claimed that it was Nefertiti, not Akhenaten, who instigated the monotheistic religion of Aton. It is around Year 15 that Nefertiti mysteriously disappears from view. It could be that she died, although no indication of this exists to this date. Some scholars think that she was banished for some reason, and lived the rest of her years in a northern palace. All papyrus paintings are sent with "rough" edges, easily trimmed to fit your framing needs. Dark papyrus is aged by soaking it in water and letting the sugars age the papyrus, it breaks down the fibers and gives a very old authentic feel. You may notice that there are some pin holes on the canvas, this is part of the aging process. *****NOTICE**** Artist: Adel 100% Hand Painted on Dark Papyrus Canvas Available Sizes (Approx) 1" = 2.54 cm 40 x 60 cm (16" x 24") $75.00 70 x 100 cm (27" x 39") $90.00100 x 150 cm (39" x 59") $175.00
