Nefertiti was more than just a pretty face

Nefertiti’s subtle smile is highlighted with red pigment in this bust, which probably depicts the young royal as a teenager. It's housed in the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection at Berlin's Neues Museum.

In this unfinished bust of the queen, Nefertiti’s features are softly rendered, but dark pigments have been used to emphasize her brows and eyes.

Perhaps the most famous portrait in the world at Berlin's Neues Museum, this bust of Nefertiti was found in 1912 by German archaeologist Ludwig Borchardt.

The elongated features of an unfinished bust of Nefertiti align closely to the Amarna style associated with her husband, Akhenaten. The bust is housed in the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection at Berlin's Neues Museum.

Damage to the nose mars the appearance of an exquisitely rendered quartzite head from Memphis, housed in Cairo's Egyptian Museum, that is believed to represent Nefertiti.
