'Abd al-Husayn (d. 1340/1921-2) is recorded as a painter of portraiture, landscapes, flower and birds and illumination. He came from a family of painters headed by his father Muhammad Kazim and his grand-father Najaf'ali. The date he received his title Sani' Homayun is not known but is likely to have been given by Muzaffar al-Din Shah. Many works by him are recorded and date between 1323 (1905-06) and 1339 (1920-21) (M.A. Karimzadeh Tabrizi, The Lives & Art of Old Painters of Iran, London 1984, pp. 320-321).
