Abstract
ABSTRACTThanks to a colour reproduction faithfully completed by French explorer Frédéric Cailliaud in the early XIXth century, we are able to view a missing Theban painting dating from the reign of Amenophis II (under the New Empire). It depicts a hunting scene in the desert and an oryx whose morphology and, above all, whose coat colouration obviously match those of the Arabian Oryx. Consequently, we put forward the hypothesis of the possible presence of the Arabian Oryx in the Eastern Desert in Egypt during pharaonic times.
