This is a sketch made in the Egyptian meauseum in Cairo, it is of the biggest statue in the meuseum, that of Amunhotep and his wife, Tyi. In this drawing I tried to capture some of the refinement that this magnificent statue has, it is amazing that something of such monumental size can have such suttleties. That big grin on their faces is not an exageration, the statue realy depicts the Pharaoh and his wife like that. Amunhotep was perhaps Egypt's greatest Pharaoh, and maybe those smiles are to show that they had prosperity and contentment.
