介绍（中）	穆罕默德·巴基尔（Muhammad Baqir）的大量作品幸存下来，包括几幅边框和单页画作，日期为1764年，来自一本分散的相册。其中一些是基于欧洲原型的，而另一些则描绘了花朵，反映了十八世纪发展起来的花鸟画的时尚，在十九世纪的伊朗特别流行。虽然龙与真实或想象的动物战斗的主题在波斯绘画中有着悠久的历史，起源于十三世纪的蒙古人，但这种构图更直接的灵感很可能来自十七世纪萨法维艺术家穆因·穆萨维尔的作品。他的许多狮子画描绘了这些野兽的大而富有表现力的眼睛，类似于穆罕默德·巴基尔的生物。这幅 18 世纪的绘画与其萨法维祖先的区别在于使用水墨水洗，这是一种从欧洲来源借来的技术，用于定义狮子和龙的肌肉组织。最后，这幅画的肖像是新颖的，因为通常龙和狮子都打败了较弱的敌人。在这里，两人面对面，狮子抽取了第一滴血，但他们的斗争结果永远不确定。
介绍（英）	A significant number of works by Muhammad Baqir survive, including several borders and single-page paintings, dated 1764, that come from a dispersed album. Some of these are based on European prototypes while others depict flowers, reflecting the vogue for bird-and-flower paintings that developed in the eighteenth century and was especially popular in nineteenth-century Iran. While the subject of dragons in combat with real or imaginary animals has a long history in Persian painting, originating with the Mongols in the thirteenth century, the more immediate inspiration for this composition is most likely in the work of the seventeenth-century Safavid artist Mu'in Musavvir. His numerous drawings of lions depict the beasts with large, expressive eyes similar to those of Muhammad Baqir's creature. What differentiates the eighteenth-century drawing from its Safavid forebears is the use of ink wash, a technique borrowed from European sources, to define the musculature of both lion and dragon. Finally, the iconography of this drawing is novel since customarily both dragons and lions are shown defeating a weaker foe. Here, the two are face to face, with the lion drawing first blood but the outcome of their struggle forever uncertain.
