Mummy


British Museum, Egyptian department. Above a real mummy on display. It's awkward to realise that this was a person real and alive about 3000 years ago. And now thousands of people, coming from countries he never knew existed, come to look at his remains. I also sketched a nice model of the gifts the ancient Egypts buried in their graves, two beautiful and intricately detailed models of riverboats. The realistic pose and detailing of the boatsmen is stunning.

Je zal het maar zijn Rene. Je eerste lijk geschetst denk ik.

Klopt. Makkelijk, die kijkt niet meer naar gelijkenis...
