This 2050 BC Egyptian tomb painting, "Laden Donkeys and Men Plowing" from the Tomb of Djari depicts the daily activities of farmers in ancient Egypt. The artist, unknown but skilled, uses simple lines to capture the movement of donkeys carrying goods and men tilling the land. The scene provides insight into Egyptian agriculture and daily life during the Old Kingdom period. It is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
