With spectacles perched on his nose and his pen case, ink bottle, and other tools set before him, ‘Abbāsī appears concentrated on his task. Famed for his portraits, ‘Abbāsī worked for the Safavid Shah ‘Abbās I (r. 1588–1629) and was the leading master of the Isfahan School, the last great school of Persian miniature painting, which flourished in the early seventeenth century. Little is known about the life of Muṣavvir, but he was evidently a prolific illustrator of manuscripts of the early eleventh-century epic poem the <i>Shahnama </i>(Book of Kings), as well as a painter of finely detailed portraits and scenes of famous historical events.\n","remarks":"ASIA4_16-T3B-5_WLA  – Day 1 Cataloguing"}],"datebegin":1673,"sortnumber":"2025   25L    1","published_date":"2026-02-11 14:57:28.852062","objectid":140564,"dimensions":"mount: 51.4 × 41.3 cm (20 1/4 × 16 1/4 in.)\r\nimage: 32.4 × 21.3 cm (12 3/4 × 8 3/8 in.)","on_view":true}
