The article focused on completing the restoration project of the painting "The Brothers," one of the most important masterpieces of portrait art in Egypt from the Roman era. The painting was temporarily displayed in Italy as part of the exhibition "The Power of the Portrait... Egypt and Rome: Faces of Faiyum" in Rome from November 5, 2026, to May 2, 2027. The restoration process took three weeks and involved both Egyptian and Italian experts, aiming to enhance cultural interaction and facilitate the exchange of expertise in heritage preservation. The wooden panel, measuring 62 centimeters in diameter, was painted using the "encaustic" technique and depicts two individuals side by side in an unusual circular arrangement. It stands out as one of the most prominent examples of portraiture from the ancient world. The restoration focused on preserving its authenticity and reestablishing its structural integrity, while also revealing ancient artistic techniques, highlighting the painting's significance as part of Egypt’s Roman cultural and artistic legacy.
