Answer:

The answer is "Amarna" style.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Amarna style of art was common during the Amarna period in the Egyptian history. During this time, the pharaoh was Amenhotep IV, who later became known as Akhenaten. This new art form was considered "flowing." It depicted people, activities and even nature.

The art is believed to show either stylistic representation of things or realistic ones. One example of this is how the body image of Egyptian king was shown. At the beginning, he was shown to have a normal body figure, but later on, depictions of him showed that he looked more like a woman with big hips, big thighs, full lips, etc. Some say it was because he had a disease and thus, the new representation of him. Some say it was just a new style.

This was one of the moments in the king's life that the Amarna style of art was used.
