A horseman in orange rides in from the right, an archer and a boy holding a flaming torch on a pole wait at left, three severed heads lie on the ground and a soldier watches from the rocks. The leaf comes from the Shah Tahmasp Shahnama.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: a folio from the Shahnama (Book of Kings) of Firdausi made for Shah Tahmasp, opaque watercolor, ink, silver and gold on paper, Tabriz, Iran, 1530–35. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAqa Mirak was a Persian painter of the sixteenth century in the workshop of the Safavid Shah Tahmasp, a sayyid from Isfahan who was a pupil of Behzad, a close companion of the Shah and also a poet. He was the third of the artists who in turn directed work on the Shah's illustrated Shahnama, and he also worked on the Shah's Khamsa of Nizami; his compositions balance solid and open areas and keep the number of figures small to heighten the drama. Writers of his own century praised him as a figure painter and portraitist and as a master of the dragons, phoenixes and other fabulous creatures of Safavid ornament. His work is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
