The scene depicts a narrative moment from the Makhzan al-Asrar, or Treasury of Mysteries, where an elderly woman confronts Sultan Sanjar to seek justice against the oppression of his officials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is characteristic of the Tabriz school during the Safavid period. It employs a high horizon line, allowing for a detailed arrangement of figures across the golden, undulating terrain. Sultan Sanjar is depicted on horseback, surrounded by his retinue, while the old woman stands before him in a gesture of petition. The artist balances the royal procession with the natural world, incorporating rocky outcrops, flowering shrubs, and a sky filled with delicate cloud formations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSultan Muhammad is recognised for his ability to integrate human drama with a decorative, almost jewel-like aesthetic. The figures are rendered with precise brushwork, and their garments display a variety of patterns and colours. The use of gold leaf throughout the ground and sky provides a sense of luminosity, common in high-quality courtly manuscripts of the sixteenth century. The work is framed by an illuminated border, which reflects the meticulous craftsmanship involved in the production of royal books. This print captures the fine detail of the original manuscript page, preserving the narrative clarity and the stylistic conventions of Persian court painting. It offers a window into the literary and artistic culture of the Safavid court, where poetry and visual art were closely intertwined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/es\/products\/layla-visiting-majnun-in-the-desert-persian-school\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLayla Visiting Majnun in the Desert by Persian School\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/es\/products\/the-wedding-night-of-anushirvan-and-the-khaqans-daughter-unknown-persian-artist\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Wedding Night of Anushirvan and the Khaqan's Daughter by Unknown Persian Artist\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/sultan-muhammad\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSultan Muhammad prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sultan Muhammad","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58790467699023,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58790500860239,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58790500893007,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58790500925775,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58790500958543,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58790500991311,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58790501024079,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58790501056847,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58790501089615,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58790501122383,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58790501155151,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58790501187919,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Old-Woman-Complaining-to-Sultan-Sanjar_Poster_CompositorV1_1789490434027.jpg?v=1789491396"},{"product_id":"the-court-of-gayumars-sultan-muhammad","title":"The Court of Gayumars - Sultan Muhammad","description":"\u003cp\u003eA masterpiece of Persian miniature painting, this work depicts the legendary King Gayumars surrounded by his court in a lush, mountainous setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Court of Gayumars is a celebrated masterpiece of the Safavid period, originally commissioned for the Shahnameh of Shah Tahmasp. Sultan Muhammad, a master of the Tabriz workshop, depicts the legendary first king of Persia, Gayumars, enthroned upon a mountain peak. The composition radiates from this central figure, with his court gathered in a semi-circular arrangement below him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe visual language employed here is characteristic of the high Safavid style. The figures are integrated into a rocky, vertical environment, where the crags and flora are rendered with extreme precision. The palette includes lapis lazuli, malachite, and gold leaf, applied with a level of control that allows for the depiction of minute details, such as the patterns on the garments and the individual leaves on the trees. The scene avoids traditional linear perspective, opting instead for a vertical stacking of elements that creates a sense of cosmic order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGayumars is shown surrounded by his family and courtiers, including his son Siyamak and grandson Hushang. The figures are dressed in leopard skins, a detail derived from the epic poem to signify the primitive yet noble state of humanity during this mythical era. The surrounding rocks are populated with hidden faces and animal forms, a technique often used by Persian miniaturists to reward the viewer for closer inspection. The work is framed by calligraphic panels containing verses from the Shahnameh, which provide the narrative context for the visual scene.

It depicts a complex scene of revelry and intoxication, set within a multi-level architectural structure that allows for simultaneous narrative actions.

The colour palette is dominated by gold leaf, lapis lazuli blue, and soft pinks, applied with precision to define the garments and the tiled surfaces of the building.

This piece reflects the aesthetic values of the sixteenth-century Persian elite, who prized the synthesis of literature and visual art. The use of gold leaf in the background adds a luminous quality to the work, elevating the scene from a simple observation to a stylised, idealised representation of courtly life. The balance between the organic forms of the tree and the geometric precision of the figure creates a harmonious visual experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/es\/products\/the-wedding-night-of-anushirvan-and-the-khaqans-daughter-unknown-persian-artist\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Wedding Night of Anushirvan and the Khaqan's Daughter by Unknown Persian Artist\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/es\/products\/layla-visiting-majnun-in-the-desert-persian-school\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLayla Visiting Majnun in the Desert by Persian School\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/sultan-muhammad\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSultan Muhammad prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sultan Muhammad","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805020393807,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805055652175,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805055684943,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58805055717711,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58805055750479,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58805055783247,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58805055816015,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58805055848783,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58805055881551,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58805055914319,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58805055947087,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58805055979855,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Youth-Reading-Under-a-Flowering-Tree_Poster_CompositorV1_1789647090493.jpg?v=1789647310"},{"product_id":"zahhak-chained-on-mount-damavand-sultan-muhammad","title":"Zahhak Chained on Mount Damavand - Sultan Muhammad","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed Persian miniature by Sultan Muhammad depicting the capture of the tyrant Zahhak on Mount Damavand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exquisite miniature painting depicts a scene from the Shahnameh, the Persian epic poem by Ferdowsi. It illustrates the moment the tyrant king Zahhak is captured and chained within a cave on Mount Damavand. Sultan Muhammad, a master of the Safavid court, employs a high-angle perspective to organise the complex narrative across the rocky terrain. The composition is divided into distinct zones: the upper section shows the cave where Zahhak is bound, while the lower slopes are populated by soldiers, horses, and attendants navigating the craggy mountain path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist uses a refined palette of mineral pigments, including lapis lazuli for the sky and gold leaf for the decorative borders and rock highlights. The figures are rendered with precise brushwork, characteristic of the Tabriz school of painting. Each character wears detailed period attire, and the horses are depicted with individualised markings. The rocky outcrops are stylised, featuring swirling, organic forms that create a sense of verticality and movement. Calligraphic text is integrated into the composition, providing context for the narrative action. The work demonstrates the technical mastery of the Safavid period, where the balance between decorative elements and narrative clarity is maintained through careful spatial arrangement. The surrounding margin is decorated with gold-flecked paper, a common feature in high-quality manuscript illumination of the sixteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/es\/products\/royal-horse-inspection-aliquli-jabbadar\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eRoyal Horse Inspection by 'Aliquli Jabbadar\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/es\/products\/the-wedding-night-of-anushirvan-and-the-khaqans-daughter-unknown-persian-artist\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Wedding Night of Anushirvan and the Khaqan's Daughter by Unknown Persian Artist\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/sultan-muhammad\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSultan Muhammad prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sultan Muhammad","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805034287439,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805062435151,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58805062467919,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58805062500687,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58805062533455,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58805062566223,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58805062598991,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58805062631759,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58805062664527,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58805062697295,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58805062730063,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58805062762831,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Zahhak-Chained-on-Mount-Damavand_Poster_CompositorV1_1789647172841-q80.jpg?v=1792410007"},{"product_id":"sleeping-rustam-sultan-muhammad","title":"Sleeping Rustam - Sultan Muhammad","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic Persian miniature from the Shahnameh of Shah Tahmasp, depicting the hero Rustam sleeping while his horse Rakhsh defends him from a lion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis miniature, attributed to the master painter Sultan Muhammad, originates from the Shahnameh of Shah Tahmasp, a celebrated manuscript of the Persian epic. It depicts the legendary hero Rustam sleeping in a wild, mountainous setting while his faithful horse, Rakhsh, defends him against a lion. The composition is characteristic of the Tabriz school, where the artist employs a high viewpoint to organise a complex array of natural elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene is filled with dense foliage, craggy rock formations, and flowering trees, all rendered with precision. Sultan Muhammad is known for his imaginative approach to nature, often incorporating fantastical colours into the rocks and vegetation. The palette includes muted earth tones alongside saturated blues and greens, balanced by the gold leaf applied to the sky and decorative borders. The integration of text blocks within the image area is a standard feature of the manuscript tradition, allowing the narrative to flow alongside the visual representation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRustam is shown resting on a striped rug, his posture relaxed, contrasting with the dynamic action occurring below him. The lion, depicted in a moment of aggression, is met by the defensive stance of Rakhsh. The artist uses fine brushwork to define the textures of the animal coats and the individual leaves of the trees. This work demonstrates the technical mastery of the Safavid period, where the focus remains on decorative unity and narrative clarity. The absence of traditional Western perspective is replaced by a vertical arrangement that allows the viewer to observe multiple planes of action simultaneously.
