The early work of Jafar Petgar mainly illustrates landscape and his living environment. His subjects mostly include representation of a class of people to which he himself once belonged, people with whom he had lived. These include the Darner, Old Chicken Seller, the Painter’s Mother, Rug Vendors, and other characters taken from his everyday life.([https://tehranauction.com/en/auction/jafar-petgar-1921-2005-2/ Tehran Acution])<br>

Babak Kazemi revisits the story of Shirin and Farhad in order to comment on the contemporary struggle of lovers who must leave their homelands to find the freedom to love. The figure of King Khosrow also provides him with a potent symbol for the kind of emotional control and suppression that men and women still endure today. Ultimately, however, Kazemi’s message is that love can overcome even the most difficult situations.<br>
