Portrait of an Iranian Miniaturist in Isfahan

   

This man is an Iranian Miniaturist (an artist of small discreet works) specializing in beautiful mosaic  work made from copper, stone and camel bone as well as miniature paintings.  His business card claims that he, Okhovat Pour Rasoul, is the producer of the best miniature in Imam Square in Isfahan. He sketched a picture on the back of his business card in about 30 seconds. I was in awe.
