An executioner in red shoulders a sword beside a body cut in two and bleeding on the lilac ground, soldiers crowd the right edge and riders with banners line the hilltop under a blue sky. 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, about 1525–30. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMir Musavvir was a Persian painter at the Safavid royal workshop in Tabriz, active from about 1525 to 1555. He was one of the artists who in turn directed work on the illustrated Shahnama of Shah Tahmasp, and his own pages for it, such as Bahram Chubina slaying the lion-ape, are painted with close attention to detail; with Aqa Mirak he also worked on the Shah's Khamsa of Nizami of 1539–43. He taught his son, the painter Mir Sayyid Ali, and like him later left Iran for the court of the Mughal emperor Humayun. His work is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Cleveland Museum of Art. Qasim ibn Ali was a Persian painter from Shiraz, active about 1525 to 1560 at the Safavid court, and one of the artists of the illustrated Shahnama made for Shah Tahmasp in Tabriz. His pages, such as Isfandiyar slaying a dragon and Siyavush playing polo before Afrasiyab, carry features of the earlier Turkmen school, such as writhing bare bushes and squat figures, which he later toned down under the workshop director Mir Musavvir. His work is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach print is a giclée, printed to order.
