Description
This is Ankhesenamun, half sister and eventually the wife of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, she lived around 1320 BC (give or take a decade or so). She had a great uncle (although the relationship is unclear) named Ay (pronounced "eye"). Ay was somehow always in the background during her's and Tut's lifetimes. It is believed that he was actually calling the shots during Ankhesenamun's reign as Pharaoh (yes, you heard me correctly) and then again during Tut's reign as Pharaoh. So, one could easily imagine his envy of these two siblings. Even though he was acting as a Pharaoh, he was still living in the shadows of Tut and his half sister. So, I would imagine that the two siblings lived their lives constantly looking over their shoulders to see what their "great uncle" was really up to. Ay did finally get his wish, after the untimely death of Tut. He became Pharaoh in 1323 BC. His reign was short lived, however. It only lasted for 4 years. He was probably too old to cut the mustard by then.

Thanks for looking . . . . . . . . . . . . GT
PS: I am not sure if Ankhesenamun was all that good looking or not (probably not with all that inbreeding going on, back then). But, what good are Fairy Tales without a beautiful Princess in them ?!?!?!?

She is beautiful and exotic. With the power she held, I think it wise to portray her as beautiful. You know about those ancient Egyptian curses. Best to stay on her good = beautiful side.
Very beautiful quality portrait, when one it enlarged, we see all the details !!
So beautiful! I really love Egyptian themed artworks!
Can I call her Ank for short? Hot!
Beautiful
Well, at least he can join the "I was emperor, but only for 4 years" club! LOL
Really great job on her, Gary!
