Women at a Banquet 1479 BC

"Women at a Banquet" is a 1:1 scale copy of an Egyptian tomb painting, made by Nina de Garis Davies in 1979. This copy, currently in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, captures the traditional Egyptian style of rendering figures with a distinctive profile view and simplified, stylized forms. The painting depicts three women engaged in a ritualistic act, possibly a celebratory feast, highlighting the importance of social gatherings and rituals in ancient Egyptian society. The use of vibrant colors, including ochre and blue, further contributes to the visual richness of the piece.
