Portrait of a Young Man (Iravani)

The ornamentality is thoroughly harmonized with volumetric and plastic modeling of the shape[2] as in other paintings by Iravani.

Although the portrait was closely related to traditions of the medieval oriental miniature, the artist's interest in the external appearance of a man portrayed on a three-dimensional space of a concrete interior illustrate a crucial development in the Azerbaijani visual arts of the time.

There is an inscription in the horizontal ochre colored line: “Portrait of His Excellency, noble Vajullah Mirza.

Painted by humble Mirza Gadim Iravani.” An error occurred in the previous reading of this inscription.

Thus, the word “navvab” (noble) was thought to be the name of the painter when the painting was first registered in them museum.
