| "ex nihilo nihil fit"In theology we use the expression "ex nihilo nihil fit" which basically means "Nothing comes from nothing". In art the same applies. That which comes before influences that which is. I was struck by the importance of Kermani coats in Qajar society so I will group them here to look for design relationships with antique Kerman rugs.Also note the rug on the floor and the fresh flowers.Portrait of Prince Ardashir Mirza by Abu'l Hasan Ghaffari / Sani' al-Mulk d. 1852-53AD Portraitof Prince Imam Verdi Mirza in Kirman coat Second Half 19th C |
