QV75 is the tomb of Henutmire, likely the daughter (or sister) and Great Wife of Ramesses II, in Egypt's Valley of the Queens. It was mentioned by Champollion and Lepsius.
Lepsius gives a short description of this tomb. In his list this is tomb number 1.[1] Both Lepsius and Porter and Moss list the tomb as belonging to an unknown Queen.[1][2]
The tomb is closest to the mouth of the Valley and it may be one of the last tombs decorated during the reign of Ramesses II. The title King's Daughter is more prevalent than any other title. This may indicate that the tomb was originally intended for a royal princess, and adapted for Henutmire when she died.[3]
