Farhad Carries Shirin's Weary Horse - A Captivating Tale of Love and Sacrifice
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This 17th-century artwork, titled "Farhad Carries Shirin's Weary Horse" transports us to a world of ancient legends and poetic romance. Created by the Islamic School, this gouache painting on gold-sprinkled buff paper measures 23x14 cm and is part of a private collection. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness Farhad, a fictional character from Persian folklore, carrying the exhausted horse of his beloved Shirin through a mountainous landscape. The golden hues sprinkled across the paper add an ethereal touch to the composition, enhancing its mystical ambiance. As night falls upon the oriental scenery, Farhad's weariness becomes palpable. He walks with determination despite his fatigue, embodying unwavering devotion and selflessness. The elevated view allows us to appreciate both the physical beauty of nature surrounding them and their emotional journey. The delicate script in Asian lettering adds an additional layer of authenticity to this exquisite piece. It hints at poetry or perhaps even verses from renowned poets that may have inspired this illustration. Through this small group of animals - including horses - we are reminded not only of Farhad's physical exhaustion but also his indomitable spirit as he carries out this act of love for Shirin. "Farhad Carries Shirin's Weary Horse" invites us into a world where love conquers all obstacles and where individuals find strength in their most vulnerable moments. This seventeenth-century masterpiece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless depiction of sacrifice and devotion within Islamic art.
