Saed News:Here, you can see one of the beautiful paintings by the artist king of the Qajar dynasty. Apparently, although His Majesty knew little about ruling the country, he was skilled in art and music.
According to the History Service of Saed News, Nasser al-Din Shah wrote in part of his memoirs:
"The likeness of Anis al-Dawlah was drawn with the pencil of Aqa Hossein Khan on Wednesday, the 5th of Rabi' al-Awwal, early in the morning after we had woken up. Hajeri brought the petition from Mirza Baaji, requesting that ten tomans of his salary be forgiven. There was no ink well, so we wrote with a pencil. Afterward, this likeness was drawn."
Yesterday, we came from Shomran to the city. The weather in the city is very good. It was drawn in the upstairs room of the Inner Mansion in Tehran.
