Question

Please provide the best answer for the statement.

Answer 1

1. In the statue of Menkaure and his queen, both figures are idealized and they are of nearly the same size, but the queen’s subordination to her husband is pronounced: she has emerged less fully than the king from the stone background, and her stride is markedly shorter than his. At the same time, the queen embraces the king protectively, echoing the divine embrace seen in other statues but also depicting simple marital affection.
2. The relief depicting Akhenaten and His Family is an example of the Amarna style of the New Kingdom, which departs from older artistic tradition in its emphasis on realism and intimacy. In the relief, Akhenaten is portrayed as notably imperfect physically, with a hunched back, protruding belly, underdeveloped physique, and elongated skull. His posture is casual, and he embraces a child. In the latter gesture, in particular, he appears to reflect both traditional male and female characteristics. The queen, Nefertiti, sits only slightly below the king, but otherwise seems to share in his posture and authority. Like her husband, she embraces the family’s children, emphasizing the domesticity of the scene.
