The artwork titled “Hunting and Fishing, Detail. The Hunter’s Daughter” was created by an artist of Ancient Egypt around 1422 – 1411 BC. This piece is part of the New Kingdom art movement and falls within the genre of both genre painting and portraiture. It is part of a series derived from the Tomb of Menna, which dates approximately between 1422 and 1390 BC.
The artwork depicts a young woman, presumably the hunter’s daughter, adorned in traditional Egyptian attire and accessories, emphasizing the elegance and cultural heritage of the time. Her attire includes intricately detailed jewelry and a headband, and she is depicted holding freshly caught fauna, likely indicative of the title “Hunting and Fishing.” The use of vibrant colors and keen attention to the detailing of her garments and the captured birds further reflect the artistic sophistication of the New Kingdom period.
