A Contemporary Egyptian Papyrus Painting Depicting King Tutankhamun and Queen Ankhesenamun

This contemporary hand-painted illustration on papyrus is executed in the Ancient Egyptian style. The composition depicts two royal figures, identified by web consensus as King Tutankhamun and Queen Ankhesenamun, seated upon a boat within a papyrus marsh. The scene is populated with several birds in flight and fish swimming in the water below. The work is rendered in a vibrant palette of blue, green, and terracotta tones with bold black outlines, and includes various hieroglyphic-style inscriptions and cartouches. The papyrus features characteristic deckled edges and is mounted against a black background within an off-white mat. It is housed in a glazed, dark wood frame with a gilded inner edge. Small, illegible marks are present in the lower left corner of the papyrus.
