Coptic art might seem to be related only to religion and the church, but many other subjects were explored by Coptic artists.
Coptic portraits show typical Egyptian features with wide, round eyes, nose, and skin color. The subject matter of paintings includes farm and house animals such as cats, dogs, cows, camels, and lambs, as well as decorations of different plant leaves, branches, and fruits like grapes and pomegranates. It also has decorations based on triangles, squares, circles, and meeting and intersecting lines.
One also finds the influence of Ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art in Coptic art. Although it did not reach the aesthetic level of Ancient Egyptian art, Coptic art paid much attention to delivering meaning with great precision
