EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a folio from the renowned Shahnama (Book of Kings) by Firdawsi, an ancient Persian epic poet. Created by an Indian School in the 15th century, this exquisite artwork titled "A Reclining Woman Surrounded by Attendants" is a testament to the rich cultural exchange between Persia and India during that era. Measuring at 31.6 x 27.6 cm, this opulent piece features opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper. It depicts a scene of utmost tranquility as a reclining woman luxuriates on an ornate bed while being attended to by her devoted entourage. The intricate details and vibrant colors add depth and life to the illustration, making it truly mesmerizing. The illuminated manuscript captures the essence of restfulness and indulgence in its portrayal of lavish furniture and furnishings surrounding the central figure. This miniature painting not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into historical practices regarding leisure and luxury. Housed in the prestigious Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at Smithsonian Institution in Washington D. C. , this remarkable artifact is part of their extensive collection supported by Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds. As it falls under public domain due to its age, this image can be appreciated freely without any commercial restrictions.
