Egyptian Papyrus – The Three Musicians of the Nile (30 x 40 cm and 40 x 60 cm)

Description: Handcrafted work – Egyptian papyrus in mixed media – Inspired by ancient frescoes and 19th century illustrations

Treat yourself to an iconic scene from ancient Egypt with this hand-painted papyrus depicting three female musicians, elegant figures inspired by the famous tomb of Nakht (scribe and astronomer at the Temple of Amun) located in the Valley of the Nobles in Qurnah, during the 18th Dynasty (circa 1400 BC).

This work is also influenced by the refined style of the draughtsman and Egyptologist Émile Prisse d'Avennes, whose precise lines and nuanced palettes marked the history of Orientalist art in the 19th century. It is these inspirations that make the selection of papyri from Nilazur so beautiful.

A scene of music and life

In ancient Egypt, music occupied a central place in religious rituals, ceremonies, and festivals. Female musicians played the harp, lute, flute, sistrum, and tambourine, accompanying sacred chants or moments of celebration. This papyrus captures all of its grace and elegance.
