"An Egyptian Beauty" is a painting by the British artist William Clarke Wontner (1857–1930), known for his portraits of women in the Orientalist style. Wontner's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, rich color palette, and the serene beauty of his subjects. "An Egyptian Beauty" exemplifies these qualities, depicting a young woman adorned in luxurious garments and jewelry, suggestive of the exoticism and opulence associated with the Orient in the Western imagination of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The painting is a testament to the fascination with Ancient Egyptian culture that was prevalent in Europe at the time, particularly after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 and the subsequent increase in travel and exploration of the region. This fascination was part of the larger Orientalist movement in Western art, literature, and scholarship, which often romanticized and exoticized Eastern cultures.

Wontner's subject is typically portrayed with a sense of calm and elegance, set against a backdrop that evokes the luxurious interiors of the East. The precise date of "An Egyptian Beauty" is not well-documented, but Wontner's most prolific period was during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. His work was well-received in his time, and he exhibited at prestigious institutions such as the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists.

"An Egyptian Beauty" reflects the period's artistic trends and social attitudes, including the West's perception of Eastern women and the allure of the 'other'. While Wontner's paintings are appreciated for their aesthetic qualities, they also contribute to the discourse on Orientalism and its impact on Western art history. The painting remains an example of the intersection between art, cultural exchange, and the politics of representation during the height of the British Empire.
