Muin Musavvir

Mo'en Mosavver or Mu‘in Musavvir was one of the most significant Persian miniaturists of Safavid Iran. Not much is known about Mo'en's personal life, except that he was born in ca. 1610–1615, became a pupil of Reza Abbasi, the leading painter of the day, and probably died in 1693. Over 300 miniatures and drawings attributed to him survive. He was a conservative painter who partly reversed the advanced style of his master, avoiding influences from Western painting. However, he painted a number of scenes of ordinary people, which are unusual in Persian painting.
