House with Storerooms, Tomb of Ineni 1550 BC

"House with Storerooms" is a 1:2 scale copy of an original wall painting from the tomb of Ineni, an ancient Egyptian official, in Thebes. The painting, which dates back to 1550 BC, is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The artwork showcases a detailed depiction of a multi-story house, possibly Ineni’s own, with several windows and storerooms. To the right of the house, a palm tree stands against a pale blue background, adding a touch of nature and grandeur. Nina de Garis Davies, a renowned artist specializing in Egyptian tomb paintings, created this copy in the early 20th century. This artwork, which can be classified as a wall painting or a fresco, provides a valuable glimpse into ancient Egyptian architecture and daily life.
