Colorful interior scene of a sunlit room with red-framed stained glass windows, yellow walls, and a patterned red carpet. Two vases of bright flowers—yellow blossoms in the foreground and red flowers behind—sit on a rug-covered floor beside an ornate glass oil lamp. Decorative wall niches and blue ceramic vases add detail to the warmly lit setting.
Medium: Oil on canvas

Quote / Inspiration:

“Mulla Husayn, the first believer of the Bab, recognized
Him in this room.


“Now, however, the knowledge of His Revelation had galvanized my being. I felt possessed of such courage and power that were the world, all its peoples and its potentates, to rise against me, I would, alone and undaunted, withstand their onslaught. The universe seemed but a handful of dust in my grasp. I seemed to be the voice of Gabriel personified, calling unto all mankind: ‘Awake, for, lo! the morning Light has broken. Arise, for His Cause is made manifest. The portal of His grace is open wide; enter therein, O peoples of the world!
For He Who is your promised One is come!”
