A standing hunter draws his bow from an elegant papyrus boat as birds fly overhead among dense marsh plants and hieroglyphic motifs.

The artwork is signed at the lower left and presented within particularly attractive period-style framing: a wide textured metallic-gold mat, dark inner border, and dimensional woven-pattern frame finished in antiqued gold and dark brown.

A wonderful smaller-scale piece for a gallery wall, study, library, entryway, or layered art collection. See less
