A  Closer Look

And so after these paintings were discovered, there was no extensive study as such placed on them. There was bound to be researches who wish to take a closer, to decipher what these paintings meant. And so naturally, by the late 19th century, serious archaeologists such as Brit Flinders Petrie were soon drawn to take a closer look at these portraits. And after putting in work and effort, Petrie finally discovered 81 portraits at Hawara in 1887. He had been working profusely to hopefully dig up something new and exciting regarding these Egyptian portraits. His discoveries have been placed in London and the works obviously attracted a lot of attention, a crowd attraction actually.
