Attendants for a Hunting Expedition 1427 BC

“Attendants for a Hunting Expedition” (1427 BC), a fresco housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, depicts three Egyptian men. The figures, rendered in a stylized, flattened manner characteristic of ancient Egyptian art, are shown in profile, a convention used to convey a sense of order and clarity. The men are depicted with red skin, a detail emphasizing their importance and status. They are likely attendants, perhaps carrying hunting tools or supplies, as indicated by the objects they hold. This fresco provides a glimpse into the daily life and rituals of ancient Egyptians, offering valuable insights into their hunting practices and the hierarchy within their society.
