EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time from the 16th century, showcasing a woman gracefully adjusting her aigrette. Created by the Persian School, this exquisite artwork is rendered using opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper. Measuring at 28.7 x 17.8 cm, it currently resides in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The delicate details and intricate craftsmanship displayed in this piece are truly remarkable. Ascribed to Muhammad Sadiqi, an Islamic artist who passed away in 1610, this detached album folio showcases his exceptional talent and mastery of his craft. The woman depicted exudes beauty and elegance as she delicately adjusts her aigrette – a decorative hair ornament commonly worn during that era. The ornate border surrounding her adds to the overall opulence of the artwork. This stunning illumination hails from Persia (modern-day Iran) during the Safavid period when art flourished under royal patronage. It is part of Henri Vever's collection and represents Islamic art at its finest. With its rich history and cultural significance, this mesmerizing artwork serves as a testament to both Persian artistic traditions and Islamic heritage. Its presence within the Freer Gallery allows visitors to appreciate its beauty while also providing valuable insights into ancient civilizations' aesthetics and customs.
