About the Item

Iran, Qajar School, Early 20th Century Oil on canvas depicting a woman holding a fan, dressed in an ornate turquoise robe with floral motifs, leggings, and a patterned veil adorned with roses. The sitter stands before a richly decorated interior with drapery and ornamental panels, exemplifying the Qajar taste for theatrical staging and opulent costume. Approx. 32.5 x 43.5 in. (82.5 x 110.5 cm). Works of the Qajar school in the early 20th century continued the traditions of the 19th-century court style, characterized by elongated figures, almond-shaped eyes, and lavish ornamentation, reflecting both ideals of feminine beauty and the ornamental splendor of Persian visual culture.
