EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a khatt-i-nakhun sketch of Nasr al-Din Shah, the influential ruler who reigned from 1831 to 1896. Created around 1850 by an anonymous Persian artist, this exquisite piece measures 21x17 cm and is part of a private collection. The cream-colored background adds a touch of elegance to the artwork. In this mid-19th century painting, Nasr al-Din Shah stands confidently with his hands on his hips, donning a regal jacket and hat that reflect his status as royalty. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate lettering and script adorning the sketch. The composition captures the essence of Persian artistry and Islamic influences prevalent during that era. The young adult prince exudes power and authority through his posture and attire, symbolizing the monarchy's grandeur at the time. Mounted on paper within a framed image, this historic snapshot offers us a glimpse into olden times when rulers like Nasr al-Din Shah held sway over Persia (now Iran). It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and cultural heritage. As we admire this remarkable piece by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to the mid-19th century Middle East where history was written not only through words but also through magnificent works of art like this one.
