About the Item
Dancer and Musician
Qajar School, Iran, 19th century/Early 20th Century
Oil on canvas, in a wooden frame
This evocative 19th-century painting depicts a courtly dancer and a seated musician, rendered in the distinctive style of the Qajar period. The elongated figures, almond-shaped eyes, arched brows, and richly ornamented garments reflect the synthesis of Persian pictorial traditions with European influences that characterized Qajar court art. The musician plays a hand drum while the dancer gestures gracefully with a flowing scarf, suggesting an intimate performance within a palace interior. Decorative textiles, jeweled headpieces, and patterned costumes emphasize the period’s fascination with luxury, theatricality, and ceremonial display. Such works were often produced for aristocratic patrons and served both as decoration and as visual records of courtly life during the Qajar dynasty (1789–1925).
