Summary[edit]

Description
English: SHEIKH SANA'AN AND THE CHRISTIAN MAIDEN

QAJAR IRAN, 19TH CENTURY

Oil on canvas, the elderly sheikh sits amongst a colourful crowd confronted by yet another crowd which includes gentlemen in European dress and elegantly dressed Qajar ladies, a half naked dervish stands timidly to the bottom left and a palace on an island is apparant on the horizon, with a seam in the original canvas, arched format, relined, wood frame 70¼ x 31in. (178.4 x 78.8cm.)

For an interesting discussion on the iconography of the Sheikh San'an paintings of the Qajar period see the article by Afsaneh Najmabadi in L. Diba, Royal Persian Paintings, The Qajar Epoch 1785-1925, New York, 1998, pp. 83-5.
