1951 miniature painting by master Behzad depicting the story of Farhad and Shirin.

Hossein Behzad (1894 – 13 October 1968; Persian: حسین بهزاد) was a prominent Iranian painter. His early work was in the styles of the old masters of Persian painting of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, hoping to save Persian miniature painting from oblivion.[1]
