Gazzella

New Kingdom
ca. 1386–1347 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 119
La giovane gazzella, anch’essa proveniente dal regno di Amenofi III, appoggia con delicatezza i piccoli zoccoli sul terreno irregolare della steppa egiziana. La scarsa vegetazione viene suggerita dalle forme di esili piante incise alla base della figura e riempite con pigmento blu. La testa della gazzella si erge attenta sul collo flessuoso, mentre i grandi occhi scuri e vellutati dell’animale osservano il mondo con stupore. Le orecchie sono spezzate e le corna, in origine di un materiale diverso, sono andate perse.
