NEFERTITI


Nefertiti was the wife of the king Akhenaten. The features of the Nefertiti’s sculpture are very ideal. Very long neck and heavy lidded eyes, she was very beautiful and also called as the “mistress of happiness”. The artist of this sculpture made use of colors very beautifully to depict the original beauty. The hues of the blue headdress and its colorful band are repeated in the rich red, blue, green, and gold of the jewelry. The artist has learned the techniques to make the sculpture to look real. In today’s world artists are capable of doing anything. They can make Ice sculptures too; it is very fascinating that how they do the work by using different kinds of materials with different and appropriate colors to portray the sculpture.
