Senenuka is represented as broad-shouldered and muscular.

Senenuka sits before a table as if perpetually posed to receive offerings for eternity. Traditional Egyptian art has this timeless quality.

  
Akhenaten is shown with a narrow chest, full hips, and long, spindly arms and legs.

Akhenaten holds one of his daughters tenderly in a relaxed, informal pose. Representation of such a casual moment is a feature of Amarna art.
