The story
The best-known satirist of classical Persian, who mocked the hypocrisy of the powerful in prose and verse. This portrait is imagined, not a likeness: it belongs to the series Persiahaus Studio drew for the Greats of Persian poetry.
Persiahaus Studio drew obeyd Zakani with a short dark beard and a red turban, against a pomegranate halo on saffron, with a quill and a written page.
