Lot 92: An Assortment of Decorative Artworks and an Inlaid Khatam-kari Box

This group lot comprises a collection of decorative items including four paintings and a wooden box. The primary artwork is an unframed oil on canvas depicting a seated figure in a landscape, executed in an impressionist style with visible impasto and a palette of earthy tones. The canvas is unstretched with raw edges.

Accompanying the oil painting are three framed decorative paintings on glass, each featuring a botanical study. These include a horizontal study of a yellow rose, a horizontal study of a pink peony, and a vertical study of a flowering plum branch. The glass paintings are characterised by a textured, mineral-pigment or crushed-glass ground. The vertical plum branch painting bears a small red square seal mark in the upper right corner, which is not legible. Each glass painting is housed in a simple gilt-effect wooden frame.

The lot is completed by a rectangular wooden box featuring traditional Persian khatam-kari geometric marquetry inlay to the borders. The lid is inset with a central hand-carved wooden panel depicting a figurative landscape with architectural elements. The box is finished with dark wood stringing.
