Description

“Crimson Chalice” is a Persian miniature painting, created using time-honored techniques that define classical Iranian art. The artist used gouache and watercolor to bring the composition to life, applying the traditional Tāsh o Pardāz method to produce layered textures and fine visual detail.

This artwork features a rich illuminated border (tazhib), which delicately frames the central scene and reflects the ornamental style of Persian manuscripts. What makes this piece especially distinctive is the tasha’ir background—a classic decorative motif that adds movement, depth, and sophistication to the work. These golden elements subtly enhance the composition, guiding the viewer’s eye across the painting while preserving the integrity of traditional miniature design.

Measuring 15 × 28 cm, the painting is presented with a handcrafted passe-partout, expanding the total dimensions to 25 × 35 cm. Weighing approximately 70 grams, the piece is lightweight and ideal for display in home galleries, curated interior spaces, or as part of a professional collection.

“Crimson Chalice” offers a refined blend of Persian aesthetic heritage and artistic precision. It serves as both a cultural artifact and a decorative masterpiece, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
