拍品专文

Works by Najaf 'Ali are often signed ya Shah-i Najaf ('Oh King of Najaf'), in reference to the burial site of Imam 'Ali. Mostly active during the mid-19th Century and later followed by his sons and other members of his family, he is recorded as being particularly fond of painting images of European women and Christian religious scenes, for example see Nasser D. Khalili, B.W. Robinson and Tim Stanley, Lacquer of the Islamic Lands, vol.II, London, 1997, pl.267-268, pp.75-76.
For a mirror case signed by the artist, see lot 285.
