One of the most beautiful portrait busts of all time, as far as I'm concerned. She looks particularly elegant in profile:

Okay, so it's a 3/4 profile ;)
Here's another, less elegant image of her, at right, with husband Akhenaten and their children:

Head-binding was popular at the time, which elongated the skulls and give the children an alien appearance.
This was a fascinating time in Egyptian art; it only lasted during the reign of Akhenaten, aka Amenhotep IV (before he abandoned the old gods and changed his name)
