A Persian dignitary wearing a green coat, standing on a palace terrace with a landscape beyond, by Abu'l-Hasan Ghaffari, Sani' al-Mulk, Chief Painter (naqqash-bashi) Qajar Persia, dated AH 1262/AD 1845-46watercolour on paper, signed and inscribed in nasta'liq script at upper left, the Chief Painter (naqqash-bashi), and dated AH 1262/AD 1845-46 350 x 256 mm.Footnotes:A rare and important newly-discovered early portrait of a court official by Abu'l Hasan al-Ghaffari, Sani' al-Mulk.ProvenanceGeorge Kidston CMG, Head of the Eastern Department of the British Foreign Office, 1919-20.Thence by descent to the estate of the late Hon. Mrs Patricia A. Kidston (1927-2021).In this newly discovered painting by Abu'l Hasan Ghaffari, Sani' al-Mulk - 'arguably the greatest artist of the Qajar period' (B. W. Robinson, in R. W. Ferrier (ed.), The Arts of Persia, London 1989, p. 229) - a nobleman is shown in green courtly garb with black headgear, and a colourful waist-shawl in which a scroll of paper is inserted as a sign of his position in court. As with all Abul-Hasan's signature works, meticulous attention has been paid to detail and patterning. The subject stands in an interior lavishly decorated with wallpaper in a rich palette of dark red and a boldly patterned blue and white floor made up of a well known type of Qajar tile that imitated ikat patterned silk garments, a composition similar to those seen in the later portrait of Prince Ardeshir Mirza, 1269AH/1853-4 (see L. Diba (ed.), Royal Persian Paintings: the Qajar Epoch, 1785-1925, Brooklyn 1998, pp. 250-251); and also Murad Hesam al-Saltaneh's portrait, 1273AH/1856-7 (see G. Fellinger et al, L'Empire des Roses: chef-d'oeuvre de l'art persan du XIXe siecle, Lens 2018, pp. 232-233). The artist's careful and dexterous treatment of the towering trees in the background of the scene is also particularly noteworthy. Abu'l-Hasan Ghaffari Kashani (d. 1282/1865-6) was a painter of the Muhammad Shah and Nasir al-Din Shah period. In AH 1258/AD 1842, during the reign of Muhammad Shah, he received the title of Naqqash-bashi. A year later, in 1845, he was sent to Italy to study painting. After his return, Abu'l-Hasan painted the murals of Nizamiyah Hall for Mirza Aqa Khan Nuri in 1857-58 by which time his fame was such that Nasr al-Din Shah rewarded him with a gold box studded with a large diamond, and installed him in various posts including that of the title 'Sani' al-Mulk' in 1861. He is most well known for the paintings of the famous 'One Thousand and One Night' in the Gulistan Library, Tehran. His recorded work is dated between AH 1258/AD 1842-43 and AH 1282/AD 1865-666, and this painting therefore represents the discovery of an early work, executed during the reign of Muhammad Shah.During this period, Abu'l-Hasan painted superlative portraits which also testify to the early effect of photography on Persian painting, in contrast to its impact in Europe, where it supplanted portraiture. This painting also bears features which point to his future style, showing that he was a keen painter with a refined sense of humour who strove to capture the eccentricities of his subjects, in contrast to more rigid, academic and stylized earlier trends in Qajar portraiture.For a painting of a court official, attributed to Abu'l Hasan Ghaffari, circa 1850-60, see Sotheby's, Persian and Islamic Art: the Collection of the Berkeley Trust, 12th October 2004, lot 33, where it is noted that typical features of his work include the textured surface of the Astrakhan hat, and the voluminous robe of the sitter.See also the portrait of Mirza Abdullah Mostufi, in the Reza Abbasi Museum, Tehran (inv. 20443), which has the same signature and date.For more on his work, see (in addition to the works already cited):M. A. Karimzadeh, The Lives and Art of Old Painters of Iran, Vol. I, London 1985, pp. 23-34.Zoka, The Lives and Art of Sani-al-Molk, Tehran 2003, pp. 136-144.Important Notice to BuyersSome countries e.g., the US, prohibit or restrict the purchase by its citizens (wherever located) and/or the import of certain types of Iranian-origin works.

A page from the Nasr al-Din Shah Album, with a painting by a Persian artist working in the manner of Muhammad Zaman, after a European print depicting the Holy Family Persia, the painting late 17th Century, the album page circa 1888gouache on paper, laid down on an illuminated page with gold-sprinkled inner border, outer border with polychrome and gold decoupage flowers, cartouches and palmettes on an orange ground painting 247 x 192 mm.; album page 435 x 286 mm.Footnotes:The distinctive borders of this page originate from the now-dispersed album made in 1888 for Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar (reg .1848-96), probably to mark the fortieth anniversary of his accession to the throne. The dedication page, with large bold nasta'liq inscription, was sold at Christie's, Art of the Islamic and Indian Worlds, 26th April 2012, lot 219. The page facing this, the centre with a stylised decoupage floral composition, appeared at Christie's, Art of the Islamic and Indian Worlds, 1st April 2021, lot 33. The practice of laying down earlier paintings (mostly Safavid miniatures) on album pages with finely-illuminated borders was a common practice in the Qajar period, and it seems that our page (as well as some of those from the Nasr al-Din Shah Album offered at auction) exemplify this practice. For examples and discussion, see G. Fellinger (ed.), L'Empire des Roses: chef-d'oeuvres de l'art persan du XIXe siecle, Lens 2018, pp. 68-71, nos. 62, 63 and 64.Other folios from the Album illustrate this, and of particular relevance for our page, some are European-influenced and/or of Christian subject-matter, including one of four lots sold at Christie's (Islamic Art and Manuscripts, 10th October 2000, lots 88, 89, 90 and 91). Lot 90 included one page with an illustration described as 'the Blessed Virgin' (no illustration available), and three with scenes from the life of Christ. One (depicting a man with hunting dogs) was inscribed ya sahib al-zaman, indicating that someone at least saw a connection with Muhammad Zaman's work, however fanciful. A page from the Album (Sotheby's, Arts of the Islamic World, 9th October 2013, lot 5), had a 16th Century Shahnama illustration in the centre).Other examples of pages from the Album included a large section comprising 27 folios (Christie's, Art of the Islamic and Indian Worlds, 6th October 2011, lot 265); and six bifolia, all with calligraphic compositions, Christie's, 21st April 2016, lots 130-135.Muhammad ZamanMuhammad Zaman (d. circa 1700) was one of the first Safavid court painters to imitate European painting styles and perspective. Little is known of his life, but he worked at the court of Shah 'Abbas II (reg.1642-66). Works attributed to him include miniatures added and restored in Shah Tahmasp I's copy of Nizami's Khamsa (British Library inv. Or.2265). On the strength of these royal commissions it can be assumed that Muhammad Zaman was at some point attached to the Royal atelier or kitabkhaneh (see A. Ivanov, Persian Miniatures, in E. Kostioukovitch (ed.), The St. Petersburg Muraqqa', Milan 1996, p. 35). European painting and prints circulated widely in 17th Century Persia (see A. Welch, Shah Abbas & the Arts of Isfahan, New York 1973, p. 148). A miniature by Muhammad Zaman of a biblical scene in the Fogg Art Museum (inv. 1966.6), dated AH 1100/1689 AD, depicts the Return from the Flight to Egypt (Welch, op. cit. pl. 72, p. 108). The origin of that miniature has been traced to a mid-17th Century engraving by the Flemish artist Lucas Vosterman, though based on an original painting by Rubens, (Welch, p. 117). The painting in our page is an almost exact copy of an engraving of 1646 by Pierre Daret, depicting the Holy Family, with Joseph on the left holding a book, and on the right the Christ Child seated in the Virgin's lap, after the French painting Simon Vouet (see an example in the British Museum (1841,1211.39.16).Examples of works attributed to Muhammad Zaman are few, and often have Christian subjects.A painting of the Madonna and Child after a European model, signed by the artist and dated AH 1093/AD 1682-83, sold at Christie's, Art of the Islamic and Indian Worlds, 7th April 2011, lot 261.Sotheby's, Arts of the Islamic World, 20th April 2016, lot 45, signed and dated AH 1087/AD 1676-77, depicting Shaykh San'an and the Christian woman.Christie's, Art of the Islamic and Indian Worlds, 1st April 2021, lot 20: depicting the Rest on the Flight into Egypt, with inscriptions, the name Muhammad Zaman, and the date AH 1076/AD 1665-66, described as 'by or in the mode of Muhammad Zaman'.A number of paintings by Muhammad Zaman were recently exhibited at the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, at the exhibition Pearls on a String: Artists, Patrons, and Poets at the Great Islamic Courts, and the subject of an essay in the accompanying catalogue by Amy Landau entitled 'Man, Mode, and Myth' (see Landau (ed.) 2015, pp. 157-194). See also E. Sims, 'Muhammad Zaman', in The Grove Encyclopedia of Islamic Art and Architecture, vol. 3, Oxford 2009, pp. 21-22.Important Notice to BuyersSome countries e.g., the US, prohibit or restrict the purchase by its citizens (wherever located) and/or the import of certain types of Iranian-origin works.
