Persian Illuminated Miniature with Two Figures Hunting in a Landscape
Located in Milwaukee, WI
The present illuminated page was once part of a larger manuscript, as evidenced by the tears along the right edge, illustrating a story from the Islamic world. The scene presents two figures in a landscape, one on horseback and another gesturing to a fallen deer. The stylization of the landscape shows influence from the Byzantine tradition of painting, with jagged rocks jutting into a golden sky. The page contains handwritten text on both sides, and is surrounded by gold illustrations of peacocks and a running deer. 11 x 6.5 inches, artwork 18.63 x 14 inches, frame accompanied on the back with an image of the verso framed to conservation standards with a 100% rag silk-lined mat in a gold gilded frame A Persian miniature is a small Persian painting on paper, whether a book illustration or a separate work of art intended to be kept in an album of such works called a muraqqa. The techniques are broadly comparable to the Western and Byzantine traditions of miniatures in illuminated manuscripts. Although there is an equally well-established Persian tradition of wall-painting, the survival rate and state of preservation of miniatures is better, and miniatures are much the best-known form of Persian painting in the West, and many of the most important examples are in Western, or Turkish, museums. Miniature painting became a significant genre in Persian art in the 13th century, receiving Chinese influence after the Mongol conquests, and the highest point in the tradition was reached in the 15th and 16th centuries. The tradition continued, under some Western influence, after this, and has many modern exponents. The Persian miniature was the dominant influence on other Islamic miniature traditions, principally the Ottoman miniature...

Persian Illuminated Miniature with Four Figures Playing Polo in a Landscape
Located in Milwaukee, WI
The present illuminated folio page contains a fine miniature depicting four figures playing polo. Polo, also called 'chagun,' was the sport of kings and princes of central Asia and Iran, and the sport probably originated there in the 6th century BCE. Polo matches appear in a large number of early Persian texts, including in the writings of the 10th century epic writer Abu l-Qasim al-Firdawsi: He describes numerous polo matches in his famous 'Shahnameh' (The Persian Book of Kings). This particular illumination also is closely related to an example held at the Smithsonian Museum of Asian Art: a folio from 'Guy u Chawgan' (The ball and the polo-mallet) which shows a polo game with the dervish and the shah. 12 x 8.25 inches, artwork 19.75 x 15.88 inches, frame accompanied on the back with an image of the verso framed to conservation standards with a 100% rag silk-lined mat in a gold gilded frame A Persian miniature is a small Persian painting on paper, whether a book illustration or a separate work of art intended to be kept in an album of such works called a muraqqa.

The Artist Paints the California Coast in Marin County - Landscape
Located in Soquel, CA
Bold seascape by Edmond Donald Mauberret (American, 1921-2004). From a vantage point high on the coast, the viewer overlooks cliffs on the edge of the Pacific as the artist sits on the rocks painting the view. Dark blue seas crash into the coast, creating frothy white foam. A few people are walking and sitting along the coast. Signed "Edmond D. Mauberret" in the lower right corner. Presented in a wood frame. Board size: 19"H x 22.5"W Frame size: 22.5"Hx 26"W Edmond Donald Mauberret (American, 1921-2004) was born in San Francisco, California on May 29, 1921, to parents of French descent. His father, Edmond Mauberret, owned the Hotel Richelieu, now called the La Quinta. His mother, Helene Miguet, owned a well-known society boutique, Marie et Helene. It was at his mother's boutique, where he used to while away the hours painting, that his artistic talents were discovered. A commercial artist saw one of his landscapes and recommended him to the San Francisco Institute of Fine Arts, where, at 13, he became the youngest art student to attend the academy. He graduated from Galileo High School in 1940. He served in World War II in the U.S. Army Air Corps. In 1951, after a brief stint as a graphic artist, Mr. Mauberret joined the Marin County...
