"A Persian Lady Enveloped in her Chadre" Early 19th C. Watercolor After (or For?) Sir Robert Ker Porter seascape pyrograph and wreathThis striking image of a Persian (Iranian) woman in "chadre" (chador), beautifully rendered in watercolor, is signed G. (I believe it is G) Shelley, and was executed on laid paper with a 1813 watermark. It is nearly identical to an engraving by Scottish artist, author, diplomat and traveller Sir Robert Ker Porter (17771842), which was included in his Travels in Georgia, Persia, Armenia, Ancient Babylonia, 18171820 published by Longman, Hurst, Rees,
