Summary

[edit]
Description
English: King Mihrab of Kabul learns of Rudabeh’s affections for Prince Zal, 19th century, Iran

Type: Manuscript Painting Medium and Support: Opaque watercolor on paper Credit Line: Gift of Edwin Binney 3rd Accession Number: 1971.69 Dimensions: 8 3/4 in. x 6 in. (22.23 cm x 15.24 cm)

The princess Rudabeh was to become the mother of Rustam, one of Persia's most celebrated heroes. Her marriage to Rustam's father, however, met with grave disapproval from her father, who is shown here in a fit of anger, brandishing his sword while his wife tries to intervene. Eventually he relents, however, and the marriage is allowed to take place.

The text includes the conversation between Rudabeh's parents, when her mother breaks the news to her father, the king, of her forbidden love affair. The style of the painting is typical of works produced in Iran during the Qajar period, when artists favored the use of pink. The figure of the king is modeled after the archetypal Qajar king, Fath-Ali Shah.
