About the piece
This 1859 oil portrait by Mirza Abolhassan Khan Ghaffari depicts Jalal al-Din Mirza, a son of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar. The prince is captured in a moment of formal elegance, his dark blue garment adorned with meticulous gold floral needlework that creates a stunning contrast against the soft pink drapes and the hazy landscape visible through the window.
