Bust of Queen Hatshepsut | |
|
Metropolitan Museum
of Art, New York.
18th Dynasty 1500 B.C.
Upon the death of her
father, Tuthmosis I,
Hatshepsut became
sole legitimate heir.
Tradition demanded
however, that only a
male heir could
ascend the throne.
Hatshepsut married
her half-brother
Tuthmosis II, who
died prematurely.
Once again it was a
stepson, Tuthmosis
III, born of a
concubine, who was
crowned. Serving
first as a regent for
the young king,
Hatshepsut assumed
the royal title in
the second year and
ruled egypt for two
prosperous and
relatively peaceful
decades. This bust
derives from one of
the statues placed
throughout her
magnificent funerary
temple at Keir el
Bahri which was
intended to both
legitimize and
commemorate her rule.
The statue shows the
great Queen in
idealized masculine
guise. Nevertheless,
the prim little face
and the delicate
figure give a
distinctly feminine
impression.
