Description

I used to live in Egypt and I went to a restaurant in Cairo where I took a photo of this boy. He did many jobs, but the one it compares the closest to here in the States is that of a bussboy. He greeted us upon entering the restaurant and waited on our every word. I thought that he has a beautiful "pharanic face." I had lived in Egypt for nearly a year by the time I took this photo and learned that there are certain people that have the face of the ancient pharaohs and he had it. I was compelled to take his photograph and eventually I also drew this portrait of him. Hisface told the story of a thousand tales and I knew that I had to document it for myself. Thank you for viewing this drawing. I hope you enjoy it. Elizabeth
