Featuring a spirited woman in traditional Persian dress carrying a water jug through a grand courtyard, this pictorial carpet from Tabriz fits into a class of weavings depicting domestic and village life in Persia. While this carpet uses rose-filled cameos and traditional western elements, the design is classically Persian. Known for the pictorial art carpets of Haji Jalili, carpet weavers in Tabriz excel at producing life-life shadows and textures that can be seen in the stone steps, the woman’s silk salwar, the sinuous wisteria vine, and the soft billowy clouds in the distance.
