Description
English: Portrait of Karim Khan Zand

Zand Persia, Late 18th Century

Gouache heightened with gold on paper, mounted on card with coloured margins Miniature 5.7/8 x 4¼in. (14.9 x 10.7cm.)

This is a either a copy of a watercolour portrait of Karim Khan smoking a nargileh by Muhammad Sadiq of around 1770-79 which is in the Musée du Louvre, Paris or a study of one of his retinue from an oil painting attributed to the same artist. In the watercolour he is wearing a tall domed Zand cap wound around with white cloth. In the oil painting a kinsman, remarkably similar in appearance to Karim Khan is shown in the left hand corner, wearing a patterned turban like the one in the present painting.
