Setepenre or Sotepenre (egy|stp-n-rꜥ "chosen of Re")[1] was an ancient Egyptian princess of the 18th Dynasty; sixth and last daughter of Pharaoh Akhenaten and his chief queen Nefertiti.[2]
Setepenre was born around the 9th[3] to 11th year of her father Akhenaten in the city of Akhetaten.[4] She had five older sisters named Meritaten, Meketaten, Ankhesenpaaten, Neferneferuaten Tasherit, and Neferneferure.[5]
One of the earliest depictions of Setepenre is in a fresco from the King's House in Amarna. She is depicted sitting on her mother Nefertiti's lap. The fresco is much damaged and only a small hand of Setepenre remains. The fresco is dated to ca. year 9 of Akhenaten, and the entire family is depicted.[3] [4]
The next time the six princesses appeared together was in Year 12, on the eighth day of the second month of winter, during the so-called "reception of foreign tributes". This event was depicted in the Amarna tombs of Meryre II and Huya. In the tomb of Meryre II, Akhenaten and Nefertiti are shown seated in a kiosk, receiving tribute from foreign lands. The daughters of the royal couple are shown standing behind their parents. Setepenre is the last daughter in the lower register. She is standing right behind her sister Neferneferure, who is holding a gazelle. Setepenre is shown reaching over to pet the gazelle.[6]
