EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 11th century AH/AD 17th century print, titled "Young Man with a Flower," showcases the refined elegance and sophistication of the Safavid Iranian aesthetic during the 17th century. The young man, dressed in richly colored garments and adorned with intricate headgear, gazes intently at a fragrant flower held in his hand. The use of ink and pigments on paper mounted on pasteboard is a testament to the masterful artistry of the unknown artist. The image of elegantly dressed men and women was a popular genre during this period in Iran, circulating as loose leaves and collected into albums known as muraqqa'. This print is a prime example of the Persian tradition of documenting the beauty of nature, specifically the fragrance and allure of flowers. The young man's turban, a symbol of his status and wealth, adds to the overall grandeur of the composition. The location of the image is unknown, but it is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Iran and its enduring influence on the arts. This print is now part of the esteemed collection at the Walters Art Museum in the United States, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and intricate detail. The young man's introspective expression and the delicate rendering of the flower invite us to pause and appreciate the simple pleasures of life, transporting us to another time and place.
