Muhammad Sadiq (Persian: محمدصادق) was a noted artist from 18th century Iran. He was a painter at the court of the Zand ruler Karim Khan (reigned 1750–79).[2] After Karim Khan's death, he worked for the Qajar ruler Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar (reigned 1779–97).[3]
One of Sadiq's famous paintings is a portrait of Mohammad Rustam Khan Zand, a Zand prince and grandson of the military commander Zaki Khan. The painting is often praised for its classical Persian depiction of Male Masculinity.[4]
