| Abstract | ||||
| Ancient Egyptian art is replete with unique aesthetics, including the Egyptian women and their contemporary pictorial treatment. Creative thinkers and philosophers described them as the earth’s womb and humanity's origin. Women's attraction includes inspirations with human and aesthetic diversity connotations. Femininity and beauty are two sides of the same coin, which is varied across ancient societal cultures. Egyptian girls are distinguished by feminine beauty characteristics, including a diverse body, features, skin color, and humor sense, shaped by genetic, cultural, and environmental factors. Nile waters, sun warmth, and soil fertility had a magical effect on their eye gaze, their containment, and responsibility. The research problem is the scarcity of women's aesthetic treatment within the anatomical study of the female body by ancient Egyptian art. Research importance is ideal female beauty was not limited to a graceful body and beautiful face. Rather, it related to the culture of societal issues, plus her smiling appearance and openness to others... Research aims to portray women with tenderness sense and confidence, to add to their beauty that is hidden from view. A woman's beauty is highlighted by her solid build, position, gaze, pride, and calmness away from sensual excitement. Also using color treatment with harmony to express design within the artist's vision. Color reveals the feminine woman's beauty. The methodology follows the inductive approach to women's aesthetics in ancient Egyptian art, with a descriptive-analytical approach to the academic study impact of a woman's body in highlighting its aesthetics in a contemporary pictorial through Egyptian art. | ||||
