Ormavi 1961

"Ormavi" is a 1961 miniature painting by celebrated Iranian artist Hossein Behzad (1894-1968). The artwork showcases a man, likely a musician, in a lush garden setting, playing a stringed instrument. This composition captures the essence of Persian art with its vibrant colors, intricate details, and lyrical depiction of nature. The use of gold leaf and fine brushwork, typical of miniature painting, contributes to the overall aesthetic of the work. This exquisite painting is a testament to Behzad's mastery of the genre and his ability to infuse traditional Persian aesthetics with modern sensibilities.
