Female Musicians 1400 BC

"Female Musicians" is a 1400 BC facsimile of an Ancient Egyptian tomb painting created by Charles K. Wilkinson in 1986. The piece depicts five individuals, four women playing instruments like a harp, lyre, and a double pipe, and a standing male figure. The painting, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the artistic style of Ancient Egypt, with its simplified forms and vibrant colors, capturing the scenes of everyday life in the afterlife. This piece provides a glimpse into the cultural significance of music in Ancient Egyptian society.
