Thutmose I and His Mother Seniseneb 1473 BC

"Thutmose I and His Mother Seniseneb" is a facsimile of a wall painting created in 1473 BC, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. British artist Nina de Garis Davies, known for her work documenting ancient Egyptian art, recreated this scene. The painting depicts Thutmose I, a pharaoh of the 18th dynasty, standing with his mother, Seniseneb. They both wear traditional Egyptian clothing and jewelry, highlighting the royal status of the figures. The use of hieratic scale, where Thutmose is larger than his mother, further emphasizes his power and position. The painting reflects the importance of lineage and family in ancient Egyptian society.
