EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite single leaf print showcases a portrait of Shah Abbas I, the renowned Safavid ruler of Persia who reigned from 996 AH/AD 1588 to 1038 AH/AD 1629. The painting, which dates back to the 18th century, is believed to have been created in India. The stylized landscape in the background adds to the grandeur of the monarch, who is depicted in full length, wearing a magnificent headdress adorned with gold and precious stones. The intricate details of the king's headgear, as well as the floral decorations on his robe and the surrounding landscape, are meticulously rendered in ink and paint on paper. The inscription in the upper panel of the manuscript leaf reveals that the painting is of Shah Abbas I, who was also known as Abu Muhammad Muslih al-Din bin Abdallah Shirazi, Muhammad Amin ibn Baba Jan, and Sadi Shirazi. He was a powerful and influential ruler who expanded the Safavid Empire, which covered parts of modern-day Iran, Iraq, and Central Asia. The portrait reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Safavid dynasty, which was known for its artistic and architectural achievements. The use of gold leaf and calligraphy adds to the decorative and ornate nature of the painting, which is a testament to the artistic skills of the unknown artist. The portrait is a valuable addition to any collection of Persian or Islamic art and is a reminder of the grandeur and splendor of the Safavid Empire.
