This print showcases "The Lion Tamer" a remarkable artwork from the Safavid dynasty in early 17th century Persia. Created by the talented artist Sadiqi Beg, this piece exemplifies the intricate artistry and cultural heritage of Iran. In this close-up view, we witness a man bravely engaging with a majestic lion, symbolizing his occupation as a lion tamer. The vibrant colors and delicate patterns on their garments highlight the exquisite craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Beg's use of ink and gold on paper adds an ethereal touch to this religiously inspired composition. The floral motifs surrounding the central figures evoke feelings of beauty and harmony within nature, reflecting Persian artistic traditions.

It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Islamic art and its influence on various aspects of life during that period.
