Islamic wall art print of Ibn Khaldun writing the Muqaddimah, alone and absorbed, the manuscript taking shape under his hand. Painted in soft watercolour with fine ink detail and no facial features, the scholar's room dissolving into white space at the edges. A contemplative piece for a study, office, library or reading corner.
Written in 1377, the Muqaddimah did not simply record history. It explained it. Ibn Khaldun introduced asabiyyah, the social solidarity that builds and then erodes civilisations, and analysed taxation, labour and the psychology of power with a rigour modern sociologists still recognise. He anticipated disciplines that would not be named for centuries.
A meaningful gift for a historian, sociologist, economist or politics graduate. Part of the Riwayah Studio Islamic Golden Age collection: Muslim scholar art, Islamic history poster, Arabic philosophy print, Islamic heritage wall decor.
Country of origin: designed in the United Kingdom and printed to order in your own region, so US orders are printed and shipped within the US with no customs charges or import duty. This is an original paper art print.
Printed on premium 200 gsm matte paper with a smooth, uncoated finish that holds deep colour without glare. The paper is FSC certified and archival quality, so the artwork will not yellow over time.
Poster only: the print on its own, rolled and shipped in a protective tube, ready for your own frame or hanger. The most affordable option if you already have framing in mind.
Poster with wooden hanger: a black pine hanger with a matching leather cord. Magnetic strips grip the top and bottom of the print without damaging it, so fitting takes seconds and the print can be swapped or framed later. A good choice for renters or anyone who likes to restyle.
Framed print: a slim black aluminium frame, around 1 cm wide, with a shatterproof acrylic front and hanging kit included. The print and frame arrive together in one box, with simple fitting by hand in a couple of minutes.
Every piece is an original Riwayah Studio design, created in the United Kingdom and printed to order at our production partner's nearest facility. Orders placed in the US are printed in the US, and UK and EU orders are printed in Europe. Free delivery is included.
