How the Egyptians typically portray the human figure?

Egyptian art was based entirely on the concept of portraying each piece of a thing (a human figure, a table, a garden, a building and so on) as seen from its most recognisable angle. So a table would be shown with the top seen from above, but with the legs seen from the side. A garden would be seen in plan (as if from directly above), but the trees would be shown as if you are looking at them from the side. The same principle applies to the human figure: the head is most often shown in profile (seen from the side), the shoulders as if seen from the front, the arms and legs are seen from the side. This did not mean that any real Egyptian people stood or walked like that - it was simply artistic convention to make clear what was being shown.

Much Muslim art consists of stylized Arabic typography, in other words, the script used in writing. Some western religious art during the Renaissance was created by Muslim craftsmen and includes "hidden" Arabic script quoting the Quran. Although many Muslims believe that depiction of human beings is forbidden by the Quran, art from the Ottoman period includes the human face and form.
