Arte Islamica

A miniature of Maternity with special frame Safavid Iran, Possibly Isfahan, second half 17th century Natural pigments and gold on paper

Exquisite painting of a bare chested woman, lying on the ground, leaning against a pillow and with a child in her lap. The woman has her legs covered by an orange cloth, and holds a bottle of wine in her right hand, and a cup in her left hand. Around the two characters are trees, fields and hills in what is an obvious European style. Double frame, a thin gilded one and another blue, both of which painted with golden arabesques, while the exterior frame shows metallic enameled decorations, set with colored glass paste. This kind of depictions, from late Safavid Persia, originates from two factors deeply influencing the artists: the works of Riza Abbasi and European art. The influence of the latter is clear both in the subject of this painting and in the naturalist depiction of the background, while an initial opening to the portrayal of female nudes is to be attributed to Riza Abbasi (1565-1635). During the XVII century there was a proliferation of nudes and a stress was placed on their erotic and provocative side, as shown by the pose and activity of the protagonist of this painting, emphasized by her dreamy look and contrasted by the revering look of the child. With frame 34 x 49 cm.

Measures: 31.50 x 21.00 cm
