Artist
Howard Carter




Howard Carter is an Impressionism artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Howard Carter’s watercolours capture the sun-bleached walls of Deir al-Bahri, copying 3,500-year-old painted reliefs of queens and royal symbols. In 1896 he traced Queen Aahmes Nefertari’s serene profile and the looping cartouche of Queen Makare Hatshepsut, inked on paper rather than stone. His brush also lifted a pair of pelicans from the temple’s friezes, wings caught mid-turn. Tap the Head of Queen Aahmes Nefertari to step into the same sunlit corridor Carter once stood.
