I would like to thank my painter. He painted this portrait while I was still alive, before it was placed over my face, on my mummified body. I so enjoyed watching him prepare his paints for my portrait, using some of the products my servant girls use to make my cosmetics, as well as his own pigments. In my fine attire, my beauty conquers time and unites empires: Rome, Greece, and Egypt.
