This facsimile by Charles K. Wilkinson depicts a dog seated beneath its owner's chair, a detail from a painting in the tomb of Nebamun dating to 1473 BC. The original painting, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an example of ancient Egyptian art, showcasing the simplified but expressive style characteristic of the period. The dog's form is rendered in vibrant colors, with red and white markings against a blue-grey background, capturing the animal's loyalty and companionship.
