Mirza Baba

Mirza Baba (fl. 1795-1830) was active/lived in Iran.  Mirza Baba is known for Female figure, portrait, floral and fruti still-life painting.

A Persian painter, Mirza Baba was reportedly a native of Isfahan. He was employed by the Qajar family at Astarabad, as indicated by a signed drawing of a dragon and phoenix (1788–9; ex-Pozzi priv. col.).

After Agha Muhammad (reg 1779–97) ascended the throne, Mirza Baba worked at the Qajar court in Tehran in a wide variety of materials, techniques and scales.

His oil portrait (1789–90; Tehran, Nigaristan Mus.) of the Sasanian King Hurmuzd IV (reg ad 579–90) probably belonged to a series of historical portraits, for Mirza Baba painted a second series a decade later.

One of the two surviving paintings from the later series (Tehran, A. H. Ibtihaj priv. col.) shows the Saljuq ruler Malikshah (reg 1072–92) with his two ministers.

Other early works by Mirza Baba include a still-life with pomegranates, watermelon and flowers (1793–4; Tehran, Nigaristan Mus.) and an arched panel showing Shirin Visiting Farhad as He Carves Mt Bisitun.
