Painted plaster of man with lotus flower seated in front of a loaded table. In wooden frame. The painting has a squared grid designed to help the artist in placing the parts of the body in the correct place. Tomb painting of a tomb owner. Early New Kingdom. A similar piece can be seen at the Petrie Museum (UC28723 note the same treatment of the chair. The Waters Art gallery piece (32.2 has a similar pot as ours.) The Petrie Museum pieces which seem to come from the same Rustafjaell lot (UC28723 and UC28722 do not wear jewellery, like ours). Originally part of the Rustafjaell collection purchased by Wellcome in 1906.
