POSSIBLY BY LUIGI PESCE. Naser al-Din Shah

Naser al-Din Shah. Artist: Possibly by Luigi Pesce (Italian, 1818-1891). Dimensions: Image: 19.5 x 13.5 cm (7 11/16 x 5 5/16 in.). Person in Photograph: Person in photograph Naser od-Din Shah (Iranian, Tehran 1831-1896 Tehran). Date: ca. 1855-58.
This photograph demonstrates what the medium brought to the art of portraiture-a certain personal and candid quality. Here, although Nasir al-Din Shah (r. 1848-96) appears in a costume he wears in more formal portraits, the pose and expression adopted in this photograph are more relaxed. He is shown outdoors, seated rather than standing, and leaning back in a chair rather than sitting upright. One hand lies casually in his lap, the other is placed on his hip. This type of photograph reflects Nasir al-Din's interest in recording the private, daily life of his household in addition to using photography to capture the official aspects of the court. He was a photographer himself and among his favorite subjects were members of his family and personal harem.
