Description
Hathor, the Egyptian goddess of love, Her husband Horus, and Their child, Ihy, the god of the jubilation from the sound of the sistrum (the rattle He holds in His hand) In Dendera (Hathor's city), Ihy is called Ihy, in Edfu (Horus' city) He is called Heru-sema-Tawy (Horus, Uniter of the Two Lands).
Every year there was a festival where the temple image of Hathor would be taken on an elaborate boat-like litter, carried by priests, from Dendera to Edfu so She could visit Her husband.

I've wanted to do this picture for a long time, but never got to it. The wonderful and lovely was a HUGE help in designing this picture, and capturing the emotion I wanted to show in this happy family of gods.
Without her knowledge of anatomy, her posing for me, her understanding of children, and her emotional awareness, this drawing, down to Ihy sucking on his sistrum-rattle, would not have been possible. Thank you, , and thank you, Gods.

*Note: Yes,Ihy is naked. Egyptian children went about naked, and Egyptian child-gods are consistently portrayed naked. Therefore, I try to remain faithful to Egyptian iconography, seeing that faithfulness as respect to the gods.
If you consider this a problem, please practice restraint, and navigate away from the picture. I apologize for the tone, but I've heard of too many immature and repressed people throwing hissy fits over simple nudity. Thank you.
