About Geflügel Rupfen Und Ausnehmen

The artwork titled “Geflügel Rupfen Und Ausnehmen,” dating back to circa 1390 BC, is attributed to Ancient Egypt and falls within the New Kingdom art movement. As a genre painting, it forms part of the series found in the Tomb of Nakht, created approximately between 1400 and 1300 BC. The piece depicts scenes from daily life, specifically focusing on the process of plucking and preparing poultry.

In the artwork, two figures are engaged in the tasks associated with poultry preparation. The figure on the left is seated, seemingly in the process of plucking a bird, while the figure on the right is holding and possibly gutting another bird. Above them, a series of freshly plucked birds hang from a horizontal rod, and several large storage jars are placed on a shelf along the right side. This depiction of everyday activities in ancient Egypt offers insights into the customs and practices of the period, highlighting the significance of such tasks in their societal and cultural context.
