This 19th-century watercolor painting depicts a Persian man holding a tray with glassware. The man is dressed in traditional Persian clothing, including a tall, black hat. The artwork is a detailed depiction of Persian culture and fashion. It is a fine example of a genre known as "Company Painting," produced in Persia during the 18th and 19th centuries. These paintings were often made for European patrons interested in Persian culture, providing a glimpse into the daily life of people in that region.
