The quatrain is in praise of one with beautiful hand writing and is mentioned by Mehdi Bayani as possibly having been said by ‘Imad himself after having been praised by the Safavid Shah ‘Abbas (Mehdi Bayani, ahval va asar-e khosh-navisan, vol.ii, p.524). For more on the calligrapher 'Imad al-Hasani, please see footnote to previous lot.
