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

Description:

Treat yourself to an iconic scene from ancient Egypt with this Egyptian papyrus, a handcrafted work inspired by ancient frescoes and 19th-century illustrations.

Hand-painted in mixed media, the composition featuring three musicians is inspired by the famous tomb of Nakht (scribe and astronomer at the temple of Amon) located in the Valley of the Nobles at Gournah, under the 18th dynasty (around 1400 BC).

This work is also influenced by the refined style of the designer and Egyptologist Émile Prisse d’Avennes, whose precise lines and nuanced palettes have marked the history of Orientalist art in the 19th century. It is these inspirations that make the beauty of Nilazur's selection of papyrus.

A scene of music and life

In ancient Egypt, music held a central place in religious rituals, ceremonies, and festivities. Female musicians played the harp, lute, flute, sistrum, or tambourine, accompanying sacred songs or moments of joy. This papyrus captures all the grace and elegance.
