The artwork titled “Indian Ornament no. 7. Ornaments from wooden and embroidered fabrics and painted boxes exhibited in Paris in 1855” is created by Owen Jones. This piece is a part of the design genre within the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is included in the series “The Grammar of Ornament” published in 1856.
The artwork features an array of intricate ornamental designs arranged in a grid-like format. Each section displays various patterns inspired by Indian art, comprising motifs found in wooden and embroidered fabrics and painted boxes. The designs exhibit a rich use of colors, predominantly greens, reds, and blues, with recurring floral and geometric elements. The meticulous detailing and vibrant palette showcase the cultural artistry that emphasizes natural forms, a hallmark of the Art Nouveau style.
