Youth and Dervish. Dimensions: 9 1/2 x 7in. (24.1 x 17.8cm). Date: second quarter 17th century.While the inscription in the drawing assigns it to the celebrated artist Riza-ye 'Abbasi of the Isfahan school, it is more likely by a pupil following the typical calligraphic style of the master. From about 1610 on, figures in Isfahan drawings and paintings have heavy pear-shaped thighs and wide, round cheeks. The subject of a youth paired with an older man, often a dervish or a poet, illustrated the relationship of the spiritual guide or 'pir' and his disciple, the 'murid'.
