A German archaeological expedition digging in the deserted city of Amarna (formerly Akhetaton) found a ruined house and studio complex (labeled P47.1-3) during its 1912 excavations; 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 a sculpture workshop, it seemed a logical connection.

  Thutmose - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thutmose (also rendered Thutmosis, Tuthmose, Tutmosis, Thothmes, Tuthmosis, Djhutmose, etc.) is the name conventionally given to several Egyptian pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty, an Anglicization of the Egyptian name "Djehuty-mes", usually translated as "Born of the god Thoth":
Although Egyptologists preferred the Greek Manethonian spelling "Thutmosis" at an earlier time in the history of the discipline, more recent usage has tended towards the 'compromise' spelling of "Thutmose", as used in this article.
A relatively common name at this period, Thutmose is also the name of several prominent non-royal ancient Egyptians, including Akhenaten's court sculptor at Amarna, to whom is attributed the famous Berlin bust of Nefertiti.

 Thutmose (sculptor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The King's Favourite and Master of Works, the Sculptor Thutmose" (also spelled Djhutmose and Thutmosis) was apparently the court sculptor of Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten in the latter part of his reign.
A German archaeological expedition digging in the deserted city of Amarna found a ruined house/studio complex during its 1912 excavations; the building was identified as Thutmose's based on an item found in a rubbish pit in the courtyard that had his name and job title on it.
Since it gave his occupation as "sculptor" and the building was clearly a sculpture workshop, it seemed a logical connection.

 THE IMMORTAL BEAUTY OF THUTMOSE IV
In the early years of his accession, Thutmose IV is shown with his mother, Queen Tio, by his side, which has been seen by some as an indication of a minor coming to the throne.
So Thutmose IV could have been born of a lowly but lovely concubine whose features he inherited, thereby escaping the receding chins, jutting noses and pronounced overbites so prevalent among the royals in the beginning of the 18th Dynasty.
How many sons were born to Thutmose IV besides the boy who was eventually to succeed him cannot be precisely determined, although the Theban tomb of Heqarneheh seems to indicate that the pharaoh had at least seven male children.

It describes when Thutmose, while still a prince, had gone hunting and fell asleep in the shade of the sphinx.
During a dream, the sphinx spoke to Thutmose and told him to clear away the sand because it was choking the sphinx.
Thutmose carried out this request and the sphinx held up his end of the deal.

In most cases we are shown a sculptor standing in front of a finished work, normally a life-size male or female figure, standing or seated, less often the lying figure of an animal.
Sculptors shown alongside stone vessel makers were probably using stone too, and the linkage is reinforced by the general predominance of stone statues in archaeological finds.
It was the sculptor's aim in ancient Egypt to reproduce the subject's appearance as faithfully as possible.

In fact, the lead sculptor, Bek, claimed to have been taught by Akhenaten himself.
Whether this means that the pharaoh taught him to sculpt or that he told him he wanted things done that way (the latter is more likely) is unclear.

 Nefertiti: Queen in her Chariot - Egypt from Egyptians Point of View - Care2.com
Amin A. November 21, 2005 4:51 AM Arguably, to those who are not very involved in the study of ancient Egypt, Queen Nefertiti is perhaps better known than her husband, the heretic king Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV).
It is said that even in the ancient world, her beauty was famous, and her famous statue, found in a sculptor's workshop, is not only one of the most recognizable icons of ancient Egypt, but also the topic of some modern controversy.
She was more than a pretty face however, for she seems to have taken a hitherto unprecedented level of importance in the Amarna period of Egypt's 18th Dynasty.

It was found in the workshop of royal sculptor Thutmose, together with a bust of her husband King Akhenaton.
Interestingly the king's bust is in such poor condition it is barely recognizable, while the head of Nefertiti is almost perfectly preserved, including its coloration.
There have been accusations that he commissioned the bust from a local sculptor, that he refreshed the paint from some of the original pigment powders also found in the workshop, or at the very least that he used some underhanded trickery to get the bust out of Egypt.

It is possible that he had not yet had a chance to develop the artistic form associated with the period, but it is also suggested that the depictions reflect reality before the disease began to affect the king.
Finally, towards the end of Akhenaten´s reign the chief sculptor Thutmose (or Djhutmose) took over from Bek and Akhenaten was depicted with a more normal shape, but still with an elongated skull.
