EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a peaceful picnic in a garden during the 16th century. Created by the Persian School, this masterpiece titled "A Picnic in a Garden" showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that bring life to the scene. Measuring at 35.1 x 20.9 cm, it is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The artwork depicts an idyllic gathering where people are enjoying their meal amidst lush greenery and blooming flowers. The use of ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper adds a touch of opulence to this exquisite piece. It is believed to be part of an unidentified text with calligrapher Qasim Ali Shirazi's contribution. The image transports us back to ancient Persia, showcasing elements from its rich cultural heritage such as Islamic art patterns and Safavid period influences. The attention to detail is evident not only in the beautifully adorned border but also in every aspect of this scene - from cooking and dining activities to entertainment provided by musicians. This print serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate both Persian aesthetics and everyday life during that era. Its acquisition was made possible through generous contributions from various sources including Dr. Arthur M. Sackler and Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds.
