Oil paint on canvas

1960

During a calm and quiet period in her life, Maliheh painted a girl who looked toward the future with gentle hope. At the time, she was secretly in love with someone close by, a feeling she kept to herself. In class, she chose the subject from a famous painting and recreated it with Petgar’s support. But the choice was personal. The girl in the portrait seemed to mirror something she couldn’t yet explain, a quiet yearning and a private joy. Quiet Grace is more than a study in light or form. It became a reflection of a moment in her life when love lived silently and beauty came through stillness.
