Tutankhamun – black-and-white drawing

Timeless fascination with Ancient Egypt

The drawing “Tutankhamun” (1990) shows the profile of the famous golden death mask of the young pharaoh. With pencil and hatching, a strong plasticity emerges that underscores the mysterious aura of the ruler. The high-contrast shadows and lines lend the work an almost monumental effect despite its small format.

Archaic severity and youthful expression

This early work combines precision in detail with artistic freedom. The rigor of Egyptian forms meets the emotional intensity of the hatching, making the depiction appear both archaic and alive.
