EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Mirror Case from the 1800s, created by the Iranian School in the 18th century. Housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this exquisite lacquer piece is a true testament to Persian craftsmanship. The mirror case features a single female figure depicted on both its interior and exterior surfaces. On the outside, she is portrayed mounted on horseback, adorned in an intricately embroidered jacket embellished with gems and pearls. Her attire consists of wide-legged trousers, which were customary for ladies of the Qajar court during that era. The woman's striking continuous eyebrow, kohl-lined eyes, and henna-dyed fingernails perfectly align with Qajar fashion trends. This artwork not only serves as a decorative object but also provides insights into Iranian high society during the 18th century. It offers glimpses into courtly life and traditional costumes prevalent at that time. The Mirror Case evokes a sense of elegance and sophistication through its meticulous details and vibrant colors. Its portrayal of horse riding further adds to its allure while showcasing elements of Middle Eastern culture.
