Pencil study of a sculpture of Nefertiti, 5" x 8"

This is the second in my series of Egyptian sculpture drawing and is based on a damaged stone bust of Nefertiti from the Cairo Museum, supplemented by her famous bust in Berlin. With these drawings I seek not only to capture the features of the subject but the juxtaposition of the smooth, cold, hard stone, carved by the sculptors to appear warm and life like. ©2003, V.
