Egyptian Nr 2 by Owen Jones
Egyptian Nr 2 by Owen Jones is a meticulous ornamental illustration drawn from nineteenth-century studies of ancient Egyptian decorative art. Symmetrical motifs — lotus forms, geometric borders, and hieroglyphic elements — are arranged with the systematic clarity that defined Jones’s approach to pattern and colour theory. The portrait format allows the vertical registers of ornament to unfold in full, and the vivid, carefully balanced palette reflects Jones’s conviction that colour in ancient design was never arbitrary but always structurally purposeful.
Produced as a canvas print in our Berlin studio, the cotton weave gives this vintage illustration warmth and a satisfying physical texture. The woven surface deepens the richness of the ornamental colour field, making this canvas art print a striking and scholarly addition to any wall.
