"The Barber from Volume II Arts and Trades of Description of Egypt" is an illustration featured in the seminal work "Description de l'Égypte" (Description of Egypt), which was published in several volumes between 1809 and 1829. This monumental publication was the outcome of the extensive studies conducted by the scholars, scientists, and artists who accompanied Napoleon Bonaparte's military expedition to Egypt from 1798 to 1801. Nicolas Jacques Conte, a distinguished French painter, inventor, and balloonist, is credited with this particular illustration, which is part of the second volume dedicated to the arts and trades of Egypt.

The illustration captures the figure of a barber in the context of early 19th-century Egyptian society, providing valuable insight into the cultural and social practices of the time. The "Description de l'Égypte" is considered a major work in the field of Egyptology and an important record of Egyptian civilization before the modern era. It not only includes detailed descriptions and depictions of ancient Egyptian monuments and artifacts but also provides a comprehensive account of contemporary Egyptian society, including its professions, such as that of the barber.

Conte's contribution to the "Description de l'Égypte" is part of a larger body of work that showcases the daily life and occupations of the Egyptian people during the French occupation. His illustration of the barber is significant for its ethnographic accuracy and artistic merit, reflecting the broader objectives of the "Description de l'Égypte" to document and present a holistic view of Egypt's rich cultural heritage. The work remains a valuable resource for historians, art historians, and scholars interested in the Napoleonic era, the history of Egyptology, and the intersection of art and science in the documentation of human civilizations.
