"A watercolour of the head of Queen Ahmose, from the relief in the north sequence. It is one of several paintings made by Howard Carter while he was working at Deir el-Bahari. His sensitive reproduction is in the offices of the Egypt Exploration Society, but Carter subsequently made a number of further copies which he gave to friends or sold to visitors to Thebes." – taken from ‘Deir el-Bahari’ by T G H James in The EES: the early years (http://ift.tt/1K0zwpt).
