EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Zulaykha bound by the golden chain" created by the Persian School in the 16th century. Measuring at 15.2 A-- 9.1 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the renowned Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, USA. The artwork depicts a scene from Jami's epic poem Yusuf and Zulaykha, where Zulaykha is portrayed as a woman bound by a golden chain. The use of opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper adds an ethereal touch to this mesmerizing piece. Originally part of a detached manuscript folio from Jami's work, this acquisition was made possible through generous contributions from various sources including Dr. Arthur M. Sackler and Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds. The image captures elements such as bondage, femininity, and Islamic art that were prevalent during the Safavid period (1501-1722) in Persia (Iran). It offers viewers a glimpse into Persian culture and its rich artistic heritage. With its intricate details and vibrant colors illuminated against a backdrop of Shiraz's influence on manuscript production during that era, this photograph truly brings to life an important chapter in Islamic history. Bridgeman Images has skillfully captured this remarkable artwork without compromising its integrity or commercial usage rights while preserving its historical significance for all to appreciate.
