EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of Qajar polychrome lacquered papier-mache qalamdan (pen case) from 19th century Tehran. The detailed painting depicts a scene of the Last Judgement, with the damned on the left and the sacred on the right, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and vibrant colors.
In addition to this remarkable piece, another Qajar qalamdan is showcased in this image, painted with a scene of Shah Ismail defeating the Uzbeks in 1860. This historical depiction highlights a significant event in Iranian history, capturing both artistic skill and cultural significance.
The combination of these two qalamdans in one print offers a glimpse into Iran's rich artistic heritage during the Qajar era. The attention to detail and storytelling through art make these pieces truly exceptional and worthy of admiration.
Displayed in a private collection, these qalamdans serve as not only functional objects but also as works of art that tell stories of religious beliefs and historical events. The juxtaposition of themes between heaven and hell, victory over enemies, showcases the complexity and depth present in Persian art during this period.
Overall, this print is a testament to the talent and creativity of Qajar artisans who produced such masterful pieces that continue to captivate viewers centuries later.
