THE SINGER OF AMON, ZEDKHONSUAUFANKH, PLAYS THE HARP BEFORE THE GOD HARMAKHIS NEW KINGDOM
The singer, on his knees before the seated figure of the god, plays a harp decorated with a royal head. The man’s face is depicted in the expressionistic manner of the Amarna period, both in the interplay of curve and plain and in the realistic feature of the open mouth holding its note for all eternity. The colors are elementary-a white background, with areas of red-orange, dark green and yellow-but the brushwork is fluent and easy, so that the outlines and the bodies they define blend into a whole.
