A rider in yellow on a black horse seizes a bald man in red by the collar, both swinging swords, while an archer in violet rides in on a bay. A helmeted warrior on a pale grey horse bends low as arrows fly past, and another lifts his sword from a horse in a patterned caparison. A standard-bearer waits at the left beneath a violet banner, and a fallen man lies face down with a bleeding head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: a folio from the Shahnama (Book of Kings) of Shah Tahmasp, painted in opaque watercolour, ink, silver and gold on paper in Tabriz, Iran, about 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.
