Anmerkung : PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF DR. MOHAMMED SAID FARSIlots are subject to 5% import Duty on the importation value (low estimate) levied at the time of collection shipment within UAE. For UAE buyers, please note that duty is paid at origin (Dubai) and not in the importing country. As such, duty paid in Dubai is treated as final duty payment. It is the buyer's responsibility to ascertain and pay all taxes due.Inji Efflatoun had French artistic training, but it was only after she had been imprisoned in 1959 for political activities deemed inappropriate by Nasser, that her distinct style began to emerge. Groupings became more compact, with figures and objects more regimented- lined up in rows. The subjects, harvesters and the countryside, or fighters in battle, with either idyllic or romantic connotations, are treated as patterns on an embroidery, so there is often a tension between serious subjects and playful execution.
