They found the bust of Nefertiti was found in the workshop of Thuthmose.

"The King's Favourite and Master of Works, the SculptorThutmose" (also spelled Djhutmose and Thutmosis) is thought to have been the official court sculptor of the Egyptian PharaohAkhenaten in the latter part of his reign. A German archaeological expedition digging in Akhenaten's deserted city of Akhetaton, atAmarna, found a ruined house and studio complex (labeled P47.1-3) in early December 1912; the building was identified as that of Thutmose based on an ivory horse blinker found in a rubbish pit in the courtyard inscribed with his name and job title.Since it gave his occupation as "sculptor" and the building was clearly asculpture workshop, it seemed a logical connection.

Among many other sculptural items recovered at the same time was the polychrome bust of Nefertiti, apparently a master study for others to copy, which was found on the floor of a storeroom. In addition to this now-famous bust twenty-two plaster casts of faces-some of which are full heads, others just the face-were found in Rooms 18/19 of the studio, with an additional one found in Room 14. Eight of these have been identified as various members of the royal family including Akhenaten, his other wife Kiya, his late father Amenhotep III, and his eventual successor Ay. The rest represent unknown individuals, presumably contemporary residents of Amarna.
