EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 15th century Afghan School. Titled "A prince enthroned surrounded by attendants" this masterpiece is an exquisite example of opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper. The artwork measures 21.7 x 12.9 cm and is currently housed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution, USA. The image depicts a regal prince seated on his throne, adorned with opulent decorations fit for royalty. He is accompanied by a group of attendants who surround him in reverence and loyalty. The attention to detail in this work is truly awe-inspiring; every brushstroke and intricate design reflects the skillful craftsmanship of its creator. Originally part of an unidentified dispersed manuscript, this detached double-page offers us a glimpse into ancient Afghan culture and storytelling traditions. Its acquisition was made possible through generous contributions from the Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds, Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program, as well as Dr. Arthur M. Sackler. This artwork not only serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Afghanistan but also highlights themes prevalent in Islamic art such as mythology, legend, and courtly life. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world where epic tales unfold amidst ornate landscapes and decorative motifs. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this timeless masterpiece that continues to inspire admiration for its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
