Mixed media including watercolor, ink, and oil stick on paper, 20 3/4 x 24 3/4 in. (52.7 x 62.9 cm), framed.

Provenance: Collection of Muhsin Sayyid Mahdi and Sarah Roche-Mahdi, Cambridge.
N.B. Muhsin Sayyid Mahdi (1926-2007), the James Richard Jewett Professor Emeritus of Arabic at Harvard University, was a renowned scholar of medieval Arabic and Islamic philosophy. He held visiting professorships at universities throughout the world, offering him and his wife, Sarah Roche-Mahdi, a scholar of medieval and Romantic European literature and thought, the opportunity to build a thoughtful and personally significant collection of art focused on works created in the region of his homeland, Iraq. In later years, the couple spent a great deal of time in Paris, where Mahdi lectured at the Institut du Monde Arabe, participated in seminars, and was a familiar and beloved figure in the cafes and bookshops frequented by intellectuals from all over the Muslim world, many of them former students.
An artist, art critic, and historian, Elias Zayat's artworks reference religious iconography, Sufi thought, and ancient Syrian heritage through modernist technique and form.Condition
