Eternal Beauty
Many people dreamed of achieving eternal beauty... but no one succeeded. But there are other means and methods of achieving this goal. One of them is being painted while on the height of one's beauty and store this painting for eternity. Some people succeeded doing that!

These portraits mostly survived due to the favorable conditions of the Egyptian soil. Fortunately for all history enthusiasts and archaeologist! There is much to be learned from these portraits. But not only their scientific value is remarkable, but also their artistic prowess.
