Abstract

The ancient Egyptian was interested in reformulating what he saw after his intense reflection and analysis of it, as he depicts what he knows and designs, not what he sees, and it is manifested in the portrayal of groups and crowds, both humans and animals. And both are the most important elements that had expressed metaphorically, the real scene was different from what it depicts and with a different pictorial treatment. Thus, this study investigate the pictorial treatment and the original composition in fact described and analysed to extract the technical and plastic methods used in the depiction of animal groups, and whether it's stereotypical treatments that are passed down generations or subjected to the individuality of the artist, period of time style, or royal workshops. Although the artist was influenced by the subject and nature of the scene in adapting certain methods, moreover the study propose different compositions which might be inspiring the artist in the past to be a source of inspiration for today's artists and art scholars, in addition the ancient Egyptian art is inexhaustible from pictorial ideas and treatments.
