In Egyptian art faces are shown in profile & eyes full on. There is at least one place where a face or faces is shown in the normal modern representational style. Can anyone tell me where as I have forgotten.

Also as a trivia question - why is/are it/they not in the normal Egyptian style?

In sculpture of course! Also 2 dimensional representation of Bes and Hathor (in woman form usually found on columns) are in frontal view.

There are a few hieroglyphs that show a face in the frontal view. They are the human "face" [D2], the "owl" [G17] and its variants [G18-G20], and I have seen a hieroglyphic frontal view of a sphinx but I do not see it on Gardiner's sign list.

Hope this helps.

Also found recently was that sketch of Hatshepsut. I was probably done by an artist as a preliminary drawing of an intended statue, but it shows remarkable ability of the Egyptian artist for full-frontal work.

You were close when you said a sculpture. What I was thinking of was a wall carving showing a sculpture which looked strange in 'modern' style among the pictures of people in Egyptian style.

The 2 types of representation makes me think about the minds of the Egyptians.
