King Amenemhat III, also spelled Amenemhet III was a pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt. He ruled from c.1860 BC to c.1814 BC One odd feature about his rule was that he had a 20 year co-regency with his father. The other nugget I unearthed was that he had 2 pyramids built for him. Presumably the first wasn't pointy enough.
This statue sits next to the Rosetta Stone in the British Museum, London. Although the latter is historically very significant it's hard to see with all the crowds around it and wouldn't sketch particularly well. I managed to sneak this sketch out whilst the family were having a wander at the other end of the section.
Found a photo of the bust here:-
