About the Item

Iran, Qajar School, Early 20th Century Oil on canvas depicting a woman holding a tambourine, dressed in a vibrant green robe with floral motifs, fitted leggings, and a patterned veil. She is positioned within an interior framed by draped curtains and architectural details, standing on a floral ground that heightens the decorative richness of the scene. Approx. 31.5 x 41.5 in. (80 x 105 cm). This work exemplifies the Qajar school’s continuation into the early 20th century, characterized by elongated proportions, almond-shaped eyes, and a theatrical presentation of sitters adorned with patterned textiles and symbolic attributes. The tambourine underscores the association of feminine beauty with music and performance, a recurring theme in Qajar visual culture.
