EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from the renowned Yusuf-u Zulaykha by Jami, a Persian poet who lived in the 15th century. The delicate sarlawh (illuminated heading) and text are beautifully depicted on this detached manuscript folio, which dates back to the 16th century. Measuring at 25.8x16 cm, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. The gallery acquired this masterpiece through various means including purchase with funds from the Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds, Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program, and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler himself. The intricate details of ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper truly bring out the richness of Persian artistry during that era. This particular piece belongs to Henri Vever's collection and features an enchanting poem about Zulaykha - a character from Islamic literature who fell deeply in love with Yusuf (Joseph). With its historical significance and cultural importance, this folio serves as a testament to Iran's artistic heritage while also providing insight into ancient storytelling traditions. As it is now out of copyright restrictions, Bridgeman Images has made it available for public viewing without any commercial use limitations. Overall, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the visual beauty and literary depth present within Persian manuscripts like Yusuf-u Zulaykha by Jami.
