MERCY , VERY NICE , I LIKE IT A LOT .I LOVE THIS STYLE OF PAINTING . I WISH 1 OF THEM WAS MINE!!
BY THE WAY I THINK I SHOULD HAVE ALL OF THIS ARTS! HE IS MY GREAT GRANDFATHER ,,, NO LIE ,,,
your claim is 50 persent right because he is great grandfather of the half of the population of Iran considering the number of his wives!
right ,
being a ghajar princess is a shame not pride , especially the fathali-shah
These are not all of them there are many more works in Museum and Collections inside and outside of Iran
We did not claim that these are all the portraits. These are the portraits that we had access to their images.
