"C. HISTORY (MINIATURS-9 : THE SAFAVID PERIOD) THE TABRIZ SCHOOL-3 ERNEST KUHNEL RIZA - I - ABBASI AND HIS SCHOOL In the last quarter of the sixteenth century the capital of Persia was moved from Tabriz to Qazvin, but we have no reliable information about the establishment of any school of painting at the court there, though we know that at least certain individual painters went there to work.
(_) A portrait of the physician Shifa'i, in the British Museum, also seems to have Riza's own signature, though in somewhat more delicate writing: kamina Riza musawvir (the humble Riza the painter); and this form of the name appears also on an especially important brush drawing, formerly in the possession of Demotte, Paris.
A drawing in the Vever Collection, depicting the vivid contrast between and old teacher and his elegant pupil, with some of the outlines only faintly indicated while others are carefully executed, must also be by the Master himself and somewhat later work, but here again the signature - mashaqahu Aqa Riza (Painted by Aqa Riza) - is not own.
(_) On the other hand, a fully painted portrait miniature of a young woman holding a fan in the form of a little flag, with exactly the same signature, in the Freer Gallery of Art, might be open to doubt, for it might possibly be the work of Muhammadi, did not the treatment of drapery folds and hair point again to Riza `Abbasi."
