EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Princess with Wine Bottle and Cup" transports us back to the enchanting world of 16th-century Iran. Created by an unknown artist during the Safavid period, this single-page depiction showcases the growing popularity of courtly figures in Persian art. The princess portrayed here embodies the ideals of female beauty cherished by the Safavid dynasty. Her long, dark hair cascades down in intricately jeweled braids, reaching all the way to her ankles. Framed by shorter tendrils, her face exudes a smooth and radiant allure that captivates any viewer. Rendered in a three-quarter profile - a favored technique in Persian painting - she gazes into the distance with an air of elegance and grace. The vibrant blue robe she wears contrasts strikingly against the orange sash and tunic beneath it, reflecting the fashion trends prevalent during that era. Crafted using opaque watercolor and gold on paper, this exquisite artwork is believed to have originated from Qazvin or Isfahan. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art today, this piece remains shrouded in mystery as its creator remains anonymous. Through this mesmerizing image captured by Heritage Art/Heritage Images, we are transported to a time when beauty was celebrated through artistry and cultural expression flourished under Safavid patronage.
