EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Camel and keeper, Safavid Period, 1556-57" transports us back to the rich cultural heritage of Persia. Created by Shaykh Muhammad in the late 16th century, this intricate artwork showcases his mastery of ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. The image depicts a beautifully decorated camel being tamed by its keeper or groom. The dromedary stands tall with an air of haughtiness while adorned with a vibrant saddle. Surrounding the majestic creature are delicate cartouches containing Persian text and poetic verses. The manuscript's red border is ornate and decorative, featuring gold accents that add a touch of opulence. The calligraphy within reveals the literary prowess of Iranian literature during this period. Every element in this composition exudes elegance and sophistication. From the illuminated quatrefoils to the meticulously crafted nastaliq script used for calligraphy, it is evident that great care was taken in creating this masterpiece. As we gaze upon this artwork from centuries ago, we are reminded of the enduring beauty found within Persian culture. It serves as a testament to their love for poetry and artistry that continues to inspire generations today. Displayed at the Freer Gallery of Art in Smithsonian Institution USA, this remarkable piece invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance as a representation of Safavid Period artistry.
