Description

“Portrait of the Beloved” is a delicate Persian miniature painting that reflects the elegance and grace of traditional Iranian artistry. Created with gouache and watercolor, this piece uses the classical Tāsh o Pardāz technique, which lends it a layered depth and a soft, refined surface finish. The result is a visually rich and emotionally expressive composition.

This artwork features a detailed illuminated border and is further embellished with two toranj medallions—iconic design elements in Persian manuscript art. These illuminated motifs help guide the viewer’s eye while adding symbolic and visual richness to the overall design.

A handcrafted passe-partout, made using the ang technique, frames the painting with subtle elegance. This traditional framing method enhances the visual impact and provides a protective border that complements the artwork’s historic style.

The painting itself measures 15 × 28 cm, while the full presentation including passe-partout reaches 25 × 35 cm. Weighing approximately 70 grams, the piece is lightweight and ideal for display in both contemporary and traditional interior settings.

“Portrait of the Beloved” makes a meaningful addition to any art collection, offering timeless beauty and craftsmanship rooted in Persian cultural heritage.
