1213 1292 Arabic Persian Sadi Asiatique Saadi

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite line drawing captures the enigmatic and profound figure of Mosharref Od-Din ibn Mosleh Od-Din Sa'di, a 13th-century Persian poet widely regarded as one of the greatest masters of the Persian literary tradition. Born in Shiraz, Iran, around 1213, Sa'di is known for his poetic works that explore the human condition and the complexities of life through parables, anecdotes, and moral lessons. His most famous works, "Bustan" (The Orchard) and "Gulistan" (The Rose Garden), have been translated into numerous languages and continue to captivate readers around the world. Sa'di's poetry is characterized by its wisdom, wit, and compassion, and his works often reflect his deep understanding of human nature and the natural world. In this line drawing, Sa'di is depicted with a serious expression, his piercing gaze fixed on the horizon, perhaps contemplating the mysteries of existence. The intricate details of his clothing and the elegant swirls of his beard and mustache are rendered with meticulous care, reflecting the artistic sophistication of the Persian courtly culture of the time. The Arabic inscription at the bottom of the drawing identifies the subject as Sa'di and the year as 1292, making this a rare and valuable historical artifact. The delicate lines and shading of the drawing reveal the skill of the artist, who masterfully captures the essence of Sa'di's enigmatic persona. This beautiful line drawing offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Persian literature and art, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of poetry to inspire and delight.
