Description
English: Nasr-al-Din Shah Qajar (reg. 1848-96)

Qajar Persia, second half of the 19th Century

oil on canvas 48 x 37 cm.

An attribution to Mirza Ja'far has been suggested. For two paintings attributed to this artist, see Christie's, Islamic Art, 9th October 1990, lot 18, a portrait of Nasr al-Din Shah, dated AH 1291/AD 1874-75; and Christie's, Art of the Islamic and Indian Worlds, 10th October 2006, lot 149 (a Qajar minister).

Karimzadeh Tabrizi describes him as Mirza Ja'far, educated at the College of Arts (Dar al-Funun), later known as Muhammad Ja'far Khan, a teacher of painting at the College. His first teacher was Sani' al-Mulk from whom he learnt his initial painting technique. He worked in watercolour and siyah qalam. His four recorded works are dated between AH 1281/AD 1864-65 and AH 1304/AD 1886-87, and consist of two paintings, a sword and a lacquered pen box. (See Karimzadeh Tabrizi, vol. 1, 1985, p. 130).
