Postcards from Paradise - Egypt

 
 
 
DJEDEFRE
 
 
 
4th Dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh
2 wives
3 sons
1 daughter
possibly more
Ruled Egypt approximately 11 years
A pyramid builder
Responsible for building the Sphinx at Giza
in the image of his father
 
I have never been a fan of Egyptian art,
but Egyptian history fascinates me.
 
I had to try to draw Djedefre
(from a photo of a bust ruin
with his poor nose bashed)
He is beautiful to me
in pastel green.

    I didn't build the Sphinx, Khufu did.
    And the lower part of my nose was a little bit wider, more plump.
    And yeah, I suppose I do look good in pastel green.

    Sorry if I disappointed ya concerning the Sphinx.
