EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment from the Haft awrang (Seven thrones) manuscript by Jami, a renowned Persian poet. The image showcases an East African man gazing at his reflection in the mirror, offering a glimpse into his inner thoughts and self-reflection. Created during the Safavid dynasty in 16th-century Iran, this artwork is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the Persian School. The intricate details rendered with ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper showcase their mastery of illumination techniques. The subject of this portrait is Sultan Ibrahim Mirza, whose identity adds historical significance to the piece. As he stands before the mirror, we are invited to contemplate themes of identity and introspection. What does he see when he looks at himself? How does his perception shape his understanding of who he is? The composition's landscape format enhances our immersion into this intimate scene. Every brushstroke contributes to creating an atmosphere that transports us back in time. Preserved within the Freer Gallery of Art at Smithsonian Institution in USA, this remarkable artwork continues to captivate viewers today.
