Youth Holding a Pomegranate; Illustration from a Single Page Manuscript, c.1600-1650. This single painting of a youth holding a favored pomegranate reflects the style of the most gifted painter at the court of Shah ?Abbas, Riza-yi ?Abbasi, whose work inspired numerous adaptations and copies by other artists. In this painting, the youth is attired less extravagantly?with less gold thread than those in the two paintings nearby?presumably conveying a lower status. Gold thread was so expensive that rulers occasionally burned old fabrics for the monetary value of the gold.
