"Interior of a Potter's Workshop" is an illustration from Volume II of the "Arts and Trades" section of the seminal work "Description of Egypt" (French: "Description de l'Égypte"), which was published in 1822. The illustration was created by Nicolas Jacques Conte, a French painter, balloonist, army officer, and inventor, best known for having invented the modern pencil. "Description of Egypt" is a comprehensive series of publications that resulted from the scholarly work conducted during Napoleon Bonaparte's Egyptian campaign (1798–1801) and was later published between 1809 and 1829.

The "Interior of a Potter's Workshop" depicts the traditional Egyptian pottery manufacturing process, providing valuable insight into the techniques and social aspects of the craft at the time. The image is part of a larger effort to document the various aspects of Egyptian culture, industry, and history, which was a monumental task undertaken by the savants, the group of scholars and scientists who accompanied Napoleon's expedition.

The illustration is characterized by its attention to detail and the effort to accurately represent the tools, methods, and environment of the Egyptian potter's workshop. It serves not only as a historical record but also as a reflection of the early 19th-century European interest in Orientalism and the desire to understand and document the customs and technologies of other cultures.

As a part of "Description of Egypt," the illustration contributed to the West's growing knowledge of Egyptology and influenced the fields of archaeology, anthropology, and history. The work as a whole is considered a major achievement in the documentation of ancient and contemporary Egypt at the turn of the 19th century and remains an important resource for researchers and historians.

The "Interior of a Potter's Workshop" is an example of how "Description of Egypt" bridged the gap between art and science, providing a visual complement to the written descriptions and scholarly treatises contained within the larger work. It remains a testament to the interdisciplinary approach of the scholars during the Egyptian campaign and continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and historical significance.
