EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century illustration from Qabus Nameh, created by the Persian School, takes us on a journey to the rural outskirts of Persia. The scene depicts a small group of men on horseback, engaged in an exhilarating pursuit through the countryside. With vibrant colors and intricate details, this gouache painting brings to life the action-packed moment as they chase after their quarry. The composition showcases the skillful equestrianism of these riders as they navigate through fields and over hillsides. Their horses gallop with determination, while a young man in particular stands out for his agility and speed. A medium-sized group of farm animals scatters in their wake - goats leap away while hooved mammals graze nearby. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported back to a time when hunting was not only a physical activity but also carried moral significance. This piece reflects both the cultural traditions and Islamic art influences prevalent during that era. The use of ivory paper adds an elegant touch to this masterpiece which measures 17.2x10.7 cm. It is now part of a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its dynamic energy and rich storytelling ability. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from history for us all to appreciate today without any commercial intentions involved
