A Qajar rose and nightingale drawing (gul-o-bulbul), Persia, late 19th century, ink and watercolour on paper, 19.4 x 12.8cm.Provenance: H. Kevorkian Collection label to reverseFootnotes: With oval H. Kevorkian Collection label to reverse, no. 2594The gul-o-bul-bul, or rose and nightingale, motif was employed in both Persian literature and painting. In poetry, the two stood in for the beloved and the loved, entwined in either an earthly or divine union. In art, the motif appeared on all types of objects, and during the Qajar period proliferated to the extent that it came practically to symbolize the country itself. It became especially popular among European collectors, who demanded goods and albums decorated with this motif. Shiraz, where this drawing might have been made, was an important center for the production of architectural tiles in this genre as well.Condition Report: With significant losses to paper particularly to top border; staining thoughout; remains of masking tape, corners cut; reverse
