Abstract:
Egyptian archaeologists used different terms to express the accuracy and ingenuity of ancient Egyptian artists’ work in conveying the truth they witnessed and transforming their artwork into an accurate reflection of their life. Using eight examples of writings in ancient Egyptian art clearly showed that the term portrait accurately depicted artwork in ancient Egypt and the strict religious rules that artists adhered to.
