This exquisite original Persian watercolor on paper offers a rare glimpse into the elegance and artistry of classical Persian miniature painting. Rich in detail and narrative, the composition features finely dressed figures engaged in courtly or poetic leisure, framed by delicate floral motifs and bordered by beautifully rendered Persian calligraphy above and below.

The colors remain vibrant—especially the reds, golds, and soft blues—and the intricacy of the facial expressions and clothing patterns reflects the refined skill of the artist. The piece is set against a period-style gold mat and presented in a striking carved wood frame with dark inlays that complement the artwork’s historic character.

Measuring 14.5 inches by 18.5 inches including the frame, this painting is ideal for collectors of Islamic art, Persian manuscripts, or antique watercolors. Whether displayed in a personal study, gallery wall, or curated collection, this timeless scene evokes the literary and visual traditions of Safavid or Qajar-era Persia. See less
