Reply to comment by -introuble2 in A wall relief, comprising five figures carved on a bench in a communal building dating to the 9th millennium BC, was found in Sayburç, south-eastern Turkey, in 2021. It constitutes the earliest known depiction of a narrative ‘scene’ by -introuble2
Previously I think the oldest one was the Uruk Vase from like 3k BC iirc
