Woman with a Wine Flagon and Cup

The figure is a woman depicted in profile, facing right, with her head tilted back in a graceful posture. She wears a long, patterned gown featuring golden floral and animal motifs, cinched with a sash at the waist, and a small, brimmed hat with a dark plume. Her right hand extends outward holding a shallow chalice, while her left hand supports a slender ewer draped in the fabric of her sleeve. The background consists of stylized, thin-branched trees and faint, swirling clouds, characteristic of 18th-century Persian miniature painting.

This image belongs to the long-standing tradition of the 'Saki,' or cup-bearer, in Persian literature and art, serving as a metaphor for divine love, spiritual intoxication, and the beauty of the beloved found in Sufi poetry.
