Egyptian Papyrus - Three Women at Rest

The work reproduces an Egyptian papyrus in every detail, including its most common subjects. In this case, we are faced with a scene taken from everyday life, a common occurrence in Egyptian art, both in wall paintings and papyri like this one. The scene is depicted in an elegant depiction of three seated women, holding various accessories, including a fan and, likely, jars containing ointments or perfumes. Noteworthy is the attention to detail in the reproduction of the hairstyles and jewelry, as well as the colorful clothing.

From an executive standpoint, the papyrus was crafted using a perfect technique that reproduces the typical Egyptian pictorial language in every detail. The entire scene is framed in a strictly two-dimensional space, where the figures are arranged sequentially and always in profile. The characters also adhere to the typical two-dimensionality of these works. Their forms are delineated by a clear line that indicates their contours, always with a sinuous and flowing rhythm. The scenes depicted on Egyptian papyri, whether they are subjects taken from everyday life or religious, always have a strongly sacred character. The highly synthesis of the representation, in fact, gives rise to a highly iconic character of the image and, consequently, to a type of representation with a very ritualistic feel, imbued with an ancient and mysterious allure.

The work was created by a craftsman expert in the reproduction of ancient works.
