Men Gathering Papyrus 1479 BC

This 1479 BC Egyptian wall painting, titled "Men Gathering Papyrus," from the tomb of Rekhmire, depicts three men engaged in papyrus gathering. One man is walking, carrying a bundle of papyrus reeds, another is bending over to cut papyrus, and the third is walking while holding a long pole. This scene, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies ancient Egyptian depictions of daily life and agriculture. The painting uses a distinct style characterized by bright colors, geometric forms, and a flat, two-dimensional perspective.
