Lot 188:
Description
A Persian (Iranian) Qajar-style painted ceramic tile, whose subject is a falconer on horseback, a classic Persian motif that was popular during the Qajar period (1789–1925). Probably a late Qajar or early Pahlavi period (roughly 1900–1935). The figure’s clothing and falcon strongly resemble images of Persian noble falconers rather than specific historical figures, suggesting this was intended as a decorative scene rather than a portrait. The floral border and vivid cobalt field are especially consistent with Persian ceramic traditions. The painting appears to be hand-executed under the glaze. Dimensions: 15″ x 10″ Overall
