No I don't think that's Tut. See the sun above the figures? That is the pharoah that worshiped the disk of the sun as an image of the one god Aton. So it must be Akhenton and his wife Nefertiri.

Here is another couple of pictures depicting Tutankhamen and Ankhesenamen. The first of the two is from the lid of a chest found in the Annexe of the tomb while the second is from a miniature gold shrine found in the Antechamber of the tomb. If the scenes depicted of them over and over again on the objects of the tomb are any clue as to the closeness of their relationship, then they must have been very close as the scenes of them often depict rather intimate behavior between the two.
