"Ornament des Egeus, der über die Hochzeit Hermias spricht" (c. 1867-1868) is a graphite drawing by German artist Paul Konewka (1840- ). This artwork depicts a stylized, geometric design on a pale background, hinting at a symbolic or ornamental function. The drawing's precise subject matter is unclear, but the title suggests a connection to the mythical figure of Egeus and the wedding of Hermia, possibly referencing a scene from Greek mythology. Konewka's signature style often incorporated intricate patterns and symbolic motifs, reflecting a broader interest in decorative arts and historical themes. The artwork, currently located in the Städel Museum, invites contemplation of its form and potential references to ancient Greek culture.
