The artwork, titled “Persian Ornament no. 3. Ornaments from Persian manuscript in the British Museum,” was created by Owen Jones as part of his 1856 series, “The Grammar of Ornament.” It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and is categorized under the genre of design.
The artwork features an intricate collection of ornamental patterns reflective of Persian manuscript art, arranged in a harmonious and symmetrical composition. Each segment showcases a variety of geometric shapes and floral motifs rendered in vibrant, contrasting colors such as blue, red, green, and gold. The meticulous detailing in the borders and the diversity in the designs highlight the rich aesthetic qualities of Persian decorative art. Elements like interlocking lines, stylized floral designs, and vibrant color palettes come together to form a visually engaging tapestry of pattern work that exemplifies the sophistication and elegance characteristic of Persian ornamentation during the Art Nouveau period.
