EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing scene from the 15th century Indian School. Titled "A reclining woman surrounded by attendants" this artwork is an exquisite example of ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper. With dimensions of 31.6 x 27.6 cm, it currently resides in the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. Originally part of a detached manuscript folio from Firdawsi's Shahnama (Book of Kings), this piece offers a glimpse into ancient Indian mythology and legend. The delicate brushwork and intricate details bring to life a world filled with mythological characters such as Rustam, set against the backdrop of Delhi Sultanate between 1206-1526. The artist's skillful use of illumination creates an ornamental landscape adorned with vibrant flowers and decorative elements that enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. The presence of attendants adds depth to the composition while highlighting themes related to domesticity and service. Acquired through various funding sources including Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds, Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program, and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler, this artwork holds immense historical significance within Islamic art traditions. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this masterpiece from their extensive collection without any commercial intent but rather to preserve its cultural heritage for all art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty for generations to come.
