Iranian Late 1500s Early 1600s Opaque Watercolor Recto Style Verso Riza Yi Abbasi
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the late 1500s to early 1600s, attributed to the renowned Iranian artist Riza-yi Abbasi. The print features two distinct compositions on opposite sides – Persian Couplets on the recto and Sleeping Youth on the verso. On one side, delicate ink strokes intertwine with opulent gold accents and vibrant opaque watercolors, creating an exquisite display of calligraphy known as Persian Couplets. These poetic verses, beautifully inscribed on paper measuring 21 x 12.4 cm (8 1/4 x 4 7/8 in. ), evoke a sense of elegance and grace that is characteristic of Abbasi's style. Flipping over to the other side reveals another masterpiece by Abbasi - Sleeping Youth. This evocative portrayal captures a serene moment frozen in time, showcasing his exceptional talent for depicting human form and emotion. Measuring at an overall size of 31.6 x 20.4 cm (12 7/16 x 8 1/16 in. ), this composition invites viewers into a world where dreams intertwine with reality. The intricate details and masterful techniques employed by Riza-yi Abbasi make this print truly mesmerizing. It serves as a testament to his significant contributions to Persian art during this period.
