EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Kay Khusraw prepares to behead Afrasiyab c. 1590-1600" showcases a remarkable piece of Persian art from the 16th century. Created by the Persian School, this ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper composition measures 30.5 x 21.3 cm and is housed in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment from the Shahnama (Book of Kings) by Firdawsi, where Kay Khosrow seeks revenge against his grandfather Afrasiyab, who was once a Turanian king. The detached folio portrays Kay Khusraw preparing to execute Afrasiyab as an act of retribution for past wrongs. This exquisite illumination exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship and artistic mastery prevalent during Persia's Safavid period (1501-1722). The border surrounding the central scene features stunning patterns adorned with flowers and animals, while Nastaliq script elegantly weaves through it, adding depth to this visual narrative. Through its rich symbolism and historical significance, this artwork offers viewers a glimpse into ancient Persian culture and storytelling traditions. It serves as a testament to Iran's Islamic heritage while showcasing its profound impact on art across centuries. Acquired through various funding sources including Dr. Arthur M. Sackler's contributions, this extraordinary piece stands as an invaluable addition to both the Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program and Henri Vever Collection
