Eyes of The Scribe

This is the eyes of the seated scribe, an Egyptian sculpture of a scribe sitting down that was made for the pharoh to have to accompany him into the afterlife. The original sculpture does not stand out much by itself but if you look closely at its eyes you'd be amazed. Its eyes are made of rock crystals and are absolutely amazing in my opinion. This is one of the pieces of art have to memorize for my art history class and I have to say though it hasn't seemed like much it does stand out to me. The eyes are obviously the emphasis of this painting, standing out with its bright blue. They are nice contrasting colors the blue and red tint of the skin. There is also lots of movement within the face, the lines helping your eyes say focused on the focal point of the painting while also traveling through the face.
