EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait depicts Shah Mohammad Ali Khan, the monarch of Persia from approximately 1760 to 1779. The image is taken from Guillaume-Antoine Olivier's "Travels in the Ottoman Empire, Egypt and Persia," published in Milan between 1815 and 1817. The portrait was created using a copperplate engraving technique, with the intricate details and vibrant colors added by the skilled hand of Lazaretti. Shah Mohammad Ali Khan is shown wearing traditional Persian attire, with a long robe adorned with intricate floral patterns and a turban adorned with precious stones. His regal bearing and piercing gaze convey a sense of power and authority. The background is simple, with a plain gold backdrop that allows the subject to stand out. This portrait provides a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Persian court during the late 18th century. It is a testament to the artistic skill and cultural exchange that took place between Europe and the Middle East during this period. The intricacy of the engraving and the delicate hand-coloring demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship that went into producing such works. The portrait is a valuable historical record, providing insight into the appearance and style of a significant ruler of Persia during a time of great cultural and political change. It is a reminder of the rich artistic and historical heritage of Persia and the enduring influence of its traditions on world culture.
