A ghahve-khane-ei painting on the wall of an alley led to Imam Reza's Shrine. Iranian folk art painting or Ghahve- Khaneh painting (literally Coffee House Painting), like other forms of folklore, is an art form that has emerged from the culture, customs, and beliefs of the ordinary people. This art form, with its unique and attractive aesthetics began as a way of decorating the coffee houses and other public places since the Safavid era of the mid 16th century. #Mashhad, #RazaviKhorasan, #Iran.
