Fathallah Shirazi's "Album of Flower Paintings" is a beautifully detailed collection of botanical illustrations, this specific page showcases a variety of flowers and plants, rendered in delicate grey tones against a pale yellow background. The intricate floral patterns, reminiscent of Persian miniature painting, are enclosed by a decorative border adorned with geometric motifs and gold accents. This album, created between 1855 and 1905, exemplifies Shirazi's mastery in capturing the delicate beauty of nature, a skill that earned him recognition as one of the leading botanical artists of his time.
