Ostracon with a Royal Head

تاريخ المصدر:

ca. 1280 BCE (New Kingdom, 19th dynasty)

الوصف:

This sketch depicts a king wearing the "blue crown," a collar, and two strings of gold beads. His stubble beard is a sign of mourning. The features of the king make it likely that Seti I is represented. The elaborate execution of the royal image, which is without doubt the work of a master painter, differs from the depiction of the two hands. This sketch was probably a model for trainees, and was later reused for other training purposes by an experienced artist. It is interesting that the painter of the royal head has chosen the topic of a stubble-bearded king, which was not part of the official motifs.For the latest information about this object, ostraka; sketches, visit art.thewalters.org.Dynasty: 19th DynastyInscriptions: [Number] 3111Reign: Seti I (1290-1279/8) (?)Style: early Ramesside
