介绍（中）	该传真件复制了迈杜姆Nefermaat和Itet第4王朝早期陵墓的一幅画，其原件现藏于开罗埃及博物馆（开罗CG 1742）。这些鹅曾经是在伊特陵墓小教堂北墙上发现的一个更大场景的一部分，伊特是内弗玛特的妻子，很可能是斯涅夫鲁国王的儿媳。作为王室成员，两人被授予了一座靠近国王金字塔的大型马斯塔巴陵墓，并可以聘请当时最受欢迎的艺术家来帮助其装饰。这些鹅被描绘在下面的一个场景中，该场景显示人们将鸟困在一个网中，并将其献给墓主人。虽然在古王国陵墓的沼泽地中发现鸟鸣的场景并不罕见，但这幅作品是最早的作品之一，以其非凡的画质而闻名。艺术家在渲染鸟类羽毛的颜色和纹理时非常小心，甚至在弯曲觅食的两只鹅身上画上了锯齿状的喙。
介绍（英）	This facsimile copies a painting from the early Dynasty 4 tomb of Nefermaat and Itet at Meidum, the original of which is now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo (Cairo CG 1742). The geese were once part of a larger scene found on the north wall in the tomb chapel of Itet, the wife of the vizier Nefermaat, and likely the daughter-in-law of King Snefru. As members of the royal family, the pair was granted a large mastaba tomb close to the pyramid of the king and could employ the most sought-after artists of the day to help in its decoration. The geese were depicted below a scene showing men trapping birds in a clap net and offering them to the tomb’s owner. While it is not uncommon to find scenes of fowling in the marshes in Old Kingdom tombs, this example is one of the earliest and is notable for the extraordinary quality of the painting. The artist took great care in rendering the colors and textures of the birds’ feathers and even included serrated bills on the two geese bending to graze.
