Portret van generaal Saded Dowlet, ambassadeur van Perzië in Brussel before 1902

This anonymous portrait depicts General Saded Dowleh, the ambassador of Persia in Brussels. The photograph shows the general standing in a formal pose, wearing a traditional Persian military uniform, complete with a fez. Taken sometime before 1902, the photograph provides a glimpse into the diplomatic relations between Persia and Europe at the turn of the 20th century. The portrait's small dimensions suggest it was likely intended for personal or private use, perhaps as a memento or a gift.
