EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century artwork, titled "A Seated Angel (Peri)" and mounted on an album leaf, showcases the rich cultural heritage of Central Asia during this period. The unknown artist masterfully employed ink washes of color and gold on paper to bring to life this ethereal winged figure, believed to be a Peri, a supernatural being from Islamic mythology. The Peri is depicted in a seated position, displaying a serene expression and holding a fan in one hand, while the other hand rests gently on her lap. Her flowing robes and intricate headdress are adorned with delicate gold embellishments, adding to the overall allure and grandeur of the composition. The influence of Islamic art is evident in the intricate geometric patterns that frame the angel, as well as the use of calligraphy and Arabic script. The artwork is thought to have originated from either Central Asia or Turkey, given the distinctive artistic styles prevalent during this time in those regions. This precious artwork is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) collection and serves as a testament to the artistic achievements of the past. The Seated Angel (Peri) is a captivating reminder of the beauty and complexity of the artistic traditions that have shaped our world, and continues to inspire artists and art lovers alike.
