EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from an unidentified text, originating from Herat, Afghanistan in the 15th century. The artwork, created by the Afghan School, measures 21.7 x 13.4 cm and is currently housed at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. The verso of this folio presents a striking scene featuring a prince enthroned and surrounded by his attendants. Painted with opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper, this masterpiece exemplifies the exquisite artistry of manuscript illumination during that era. The level of detail and precision in this miniature illustration is truly remarkable. Every brushstroke brings life to each figure depicted - from the regal prince seated on his ornate throne to his loyal attendants standing beside him. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever within its delicate pages. It offers us a glimpse into an ancient world where music fills the air and leisurely pursuits take center stage. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary piece of history but also serves as a testament to human creativity across centuries and cultures. Its presence reminds us of our shared artistic heritage and invites us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance without any commercial intentions or restrictions imposed upon it.
