Muslim women wall art print of Zubayda bint Jafar overlooking the desert, the Hajj road stretching to the horizon and the wells and rest stops she funded visible along it. Painted in soft watercolour with fine ink detail and no facial features, sand and sky dissolving into white space at the edges. A serene, expansive piece for a living room, hallway or study.
Wife of Harun al-Rashid, Zubayda commissioned the Darb Zubayda from Baghdad to Mecca, with wells at regular intervals, reservoirs, rest houses and milestones. The road took decades and a fortune she spent deliberately. Pilgrims used it for centuries and parts of it are still visible today. She also funded water channels in Mecca itself.
A meaningful gift for a woman returning from Hajj or Umrah, a philanthropist or an engineer. Part of the Riwayah Studio Women of Legacy collection: Muslim women in history poster, Hajj wall art, desert landscape print, Abbasid history art, 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.
