Résumé

Full-length standing studio portrait of two men, with Sa'id Taimur Bin Faisal (1886–1965; r. 1913–1932) on the right. At the time this portrait was taken he was son of the ruling monarch Sayyid Faisal bin Turki (1864–1913; r. 1888–1913), who is mentioned in the title of the portrait. The man on the left is presumably a retainer of Bin Faisal.

The two men stand on a richly patterned carpet, which features an ornate central medallion; Farsi/Persian text is integrated into the design of the medallion. A painted studio backdrop two cusped arches is visible behind the men. An upholstered wooden chair and wooden carved table are used as props at left and right respectively.

A letterpress caption page preceding the print reads:

‘Saiyid Timur Bin Fasl, son of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat’
