About the Artwork
Reproduction of a Dynasty 20 painting showing grandchildren playing at the feet of their grandparents from the Tomb of Inherkhau (TT359).
Inherkhau is seated beside his wife Wabet whilst four of their grandchildren play with birds around them. The three girls and a boy are naked with shaved heads and sidelocks of hair, characteristics used in ancient Egyptian art to symbolise youth.
