Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Portraiture in Ancient Egypt forms a conceptual attempt to portray the subject from its own perspective rather than the viewpoint of the artist to communicate essential information about the object itself . Ancient Egyptian art was a religious tool used to maintain perfect order in the universe and to substitute for the real thing or person through its representation. Artistic conservatism during the 3000 years of the Dynastic age was a direct result of the ideal of Ma''at. Modification and innovation would have moved art away from the initial state of perfection that was present at the time of the creation of the universe. The deceased had to advertise for his or her adherence to Ma''at and therefore, chose the most perfect way to represent him/herself and excluded his/her imperfect qualities.
