Museum of Islamic Art Tote Bag - Portrait of a Lady (Mirza Baba)
QR 140.00
A tote bag inspired by the Portrait of a Lady attributed to Mirza Baba (13th century AH/18th century CE), a painting from the Museum of Islamic Art collection. Placed in a richly decorated setting, the lady on this painting confronts the viewers with her direct and enthralling gaze. She plays a tar, a musical instrument popular during the Zand and Qajar period. Her attire reflects the fashion of the period with large trousers with floral patterns, a fitted jacket and a transparent top. The henna-coloured hands indicate that she is a professional entertainer and not a member of the royal court.
