A Qajar Oil on Canvas Portrait of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, 19th Century.
An oil on canvas portrait depicting Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, presented in the characteristic Qajar court style of the 19th century. The Shah is shown half-length against a plain ochre ground, wearing an elaborate ceremonial crown adorned with jewel-like roundels and feathered elements. His richly patterned robe is densely decorated with stylised gemstones, scrolling motifs, and dotted ornamentation, creating a striking contrast with the restrained background. The facial features are carefully rendered, with arched brows, almond-shaped eyes, and a long, full beard, conveying a composed and authoritative presence.
