Zakaria raazi 1962

"Zakaria Raazi" is a 1962 drawing by renowned Iranian artist Hossein Behzad (1894-1968). The artwork depicts the Islamic scholar Zakaria Raazi, known for his contributions to medicine and philosophy. The drawing is done in a delicate, almost ethereal style, with the figure of Zakaria Raazi rendered in white lines against a dark background. The use of negative space emphasizes the subject’s importance and creates a sense of mystery. Behzad, known for his mastery of miniature painting, brought traditional Persian art techniques into the modern era.
