| Description |
English: Lutf 'Ali Suratgar Shirazi (Persian, active 1802-1871). Mirror Case, AH 1262 / 1845 C.E. Ink, opaque watercolor, metallic pigment, and gold on papier mâché under a lacquered varnish; silvered glass and detailed leather, 6 1/4 x 7 1/2 in. (15.9 x 19.1 cm). Brooklyn Museum, Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Frederic B. Pratt, 36.940.
Illustrating the experimental quality and eclecticism of later Qajar art, this mirror case displays bird-and-flower imagery on the front and back surfaces and a hybrid design of figures in European dress of various historical periods on the inner surface. The eight figures in the composition inside are grouped together without scale or thematic connection against a background of lakes and waterfalls. The extensive use of modeling in the treatment of the garments of the figures as well as in the bird-and-flower design on the front surface contributes to the European flavor of this work. |
