EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white studio portrait captures the regal presence of Mahd-i Awliya, the mother of Nasir Al-Din Shah. The photograph, taken by Antoin Sevruguin in the late 19th century, showcases her dignified stature as a member of the Qajar dynasty. Mahd-i Awliya is depicted seated, wearing traditional Persian attire that reflects her status as royalty. Her full-length veiled costume exudes an air of mystery and elegance, while her headdress adds a touch of Islamic influence to her ensemble. Despite being veiled, her piercing eyes convey a sense of strength and wisdom. As Nasir Al-Din Shah's mother, Mahd-i Awliya played an important role in shaping his life and reign. This photograph serves as a testament to her influential position within Iranian society during this period. The composition highlights both the beauty and complexity of Iranian culture at that time. It offers viewers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions associated with Persia through its portrayal of a powerful female figure. Preserved in the Freer Gallery of Art at Smithsonian Institution in Washington D. C. , this stunning image by Sevruguin continues to captivate audiences today. Its timeless quality allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind it but also gain insight into Iran's past through one woman's striking presence.
