THE EMERGENCE of Qajar painting from the neglect of thirty years ago to its present position as a subject of serious study and enthusiastic admiration, a star performer in the auction rooms, and now the theme of an international exhibition, is indeed a remarkable phenomenon.

The flowering of Persian painting and the visual arts of Iran's Qajar period (1779-1925) is examined in this work, which focuses in particular on the growth of a remarkable tradition of life-size figural painting, virtually unseen in the Islamic world.
