介绍（中）	这幅复制品的原件是在皮特里以画作主题命名的"国王之家"中挖掘的墙景（现藏于阿什莫林博物馆）下部的一部分。这座装饰精美的建筑最近被建议作为维齐尔的正式办公室。该建筑位于阿玛纳的中心城区，通过一座横跨皇家大道的桥梁与礼仪性的大皇宫相连这一场景源于一个非正式的王室团体，他们在建筑的一个房间的墙上延伸；显然，对面墙上有一个镜像场景，其余的墙上还有其他皇家场景。只有壁画的下半部分被保存了下来，但这一部分提供了证据，证明国王坐在椅子上，双脚放在垫子上，女王蹲在他对面的垫子之间。三位公主站在她们中间，两位小公主坐在母亲身边的小垫子上。在这张照片中，这两位年轻的公主出现在奈弗蒂蒂的大个子旁边，她的脚后跟紧贴着臀部。她身穿白色衣服，系着一条红色褶皱腰带，腰带从两个女儿之间垂下。小孩子有许多珠子项链和手镯，还有带垂珠串的大耳环。一个人把另一个人的脸拉向她。这幅画非常精细：例如，白色底层用于提亮特定色调，罕见的颜料雌黄提供明亮的黄色，阴影暗示人物的圆形王室作为一个亲密、深情的圈子的场景代表了阿顿人赋予阿肯那顿的幸福光环。这种表现在阿滕宗教的中心场景中是标志性的，事实上，也出现在寺庙浮雕中。
介绍（英）	The original of this facsimile is part of the preserved lower part of a wall scene (now in the Ashmolean Museum) excavated in what Petrie called the 'King's House' after the subject matter of the paintings. This finely decorated building has recently been suggested to be a vizier's formal office. The building is located in the Central City at Amarna, linked to the ceremonial Great Palace by a bridge constructed across the Royal Road. This scene derives from an informal grouping of the royal family that extended over a wall in one room of the building; apparently there was a mirroring scene on the opposite wall, and other royal scenes on the remaining walls. Only the lower part of the mural composition is preserved, but that part gives evidence that the king was seated on a chair with his feet on a cushion, and that the queen crouched among cushions across from him. Three princesses stood between them, and two younger princesses sat on smaller cushions beside their mother. These two younger princesses appear in this facsimile beside Nefertiti's large figure with her heel drawn up against her buttocks. She is clad in white with a red pleated sash that flows down between her two daughters. The small children have many bead necklaces and bracelets, and large earrings with pendant bead strings. One draws the face of the second toward her. The painting is very fine: for example, a white underlayer is used to brighten specific tones, the rare pigment orpiment provides bright yellows, and shading intimates the roundness of figures. Scenes of the royal family as an intimate, affectionate circle reprsent the aura of blessedness bestowed on Akhenaten by the Aton. Such representations are iconic in the set of scenes central to the Aten religion, and, in fact, appear in temple relief.
