EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detached folio of calligraphy from the 19th century, created by the Persian School. The intricate artwork is composed using ink and lacquer on paper, measuring approximately 29.9x20.1 cm (11 3/4 x 7 15/16 in). Housed in the prestigious Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA, this piece was acquired through various means including the Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler himself. The historical significance of this folio extends beyond its artistic beauty. With a provenance tracing back to Henri Vever's collection during World War II era, it offers a glimpse into Iran's rich cultural heritage and serves as a testament to its enduring legacy. The script used in this masterpiece is known as Nastaliq, characterized by its elegant and flowing style that has captivated viewers for centuries. Every stroke of ink represents an artist's dedication to perfection and their mastery over calligraphy. As we admire this remarkable work of art captured by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also recognize how it connects us with history and diverse cultures around the world.
