The ones you’ve shown are Greater White-fronted Geese (Anser albifrons), which we can also see occasionally here in Colorado. The larger panel shows Red-breasted Geese (Branta ruficollis, one of the more beautiful birds in the world and one of the stars of the movie Winged Migration) and Greylag Geese (Anser anser, the ancestor of modern domestic geese). Interestingly, my Palearctic field guide shows none of these species being regular in modern Egypt, although they all still winter just across the Mediterranean. Perhaps the ranges of the species have changed with a changing climate or with human intervention.

I was given this painting by an egyptian lady after I painted her house, I told her I loved egyptian things and she gave me this nice painting.

I wanted to know more about it’s story and this page has helped me, so thank you!
