"During the New Kingdom (1570-1070 BC), more naturalistic portraits were
made, particularly when Akhenaton introduced a new style to Egyptian portraiture.
In this new style, depictions of members of the royal family are believed to
be based on the subjects actual appearances. Some scholars feel that the first
real portraiture images depicting the unidealized appearances of specific individuals
date from this period. "
