3 x Lady Tanetmit

When looking at old Egyptian art with representation of human beings I am often touched by the delicate beauty and refinement of a face, a mouth, a look. The thousands of years that separate us disappear, and I feel like standing face to face with the image of a timeless, living being. Like here with Lady Tanetmit.
In my picture I have put the three parts of her sarcophagus upright, increasing the sensation of tangible nearness.
