Persian tile painting flourished under Shah Abbas (r. 1587–1629) of the Safavid dynasty, and the styles and colors of the figural and floral compositions developed in that era continued to be popular into the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when large-scale compositions such as this were used to decorate homes and garden pavilions.
Court scenes with dancing and feasting have been important subjects of Persian painting since the fifteenth century, especially in illustrations of literary classics, such as the Shahnama (“Book of Kings”). Historical and legendary kings from Persia's pre-Islamic past would frequently be shown enthroned amid such scenes of revelry. Here, the ruler appears to be Shah Abbas himself, with his distinguishing wiry moustache.
