This book is about the life and art of author's father, Sumbat, who was a renowned Iranian-Armenian artist, particularly admired for his watercolor and gouache renditions of Iranian and Armenian village scenes and landscapes. A descendant of XVIIth century Armenian settlers in the New Julfa district of Isfahan, he embodied the artistic traditions of his people and of his hometown. Through his art, he played the role of a mediator between East and West. He brought a European artistic style to Iran and he introduced Iranian lifestyle, folk traditions and landscapes to Western audiences.
