Mirza Kadym Irevani[a] was a ornamentalist artist and portraitist, whose work mostly consisted of typical Persian miniatures and lacquers.[1]

Mirza Kadym Irevani is famous for his drawings and miniature paintings.[1] In the 1850s, he was commissioned by the Russians to repaint the interior of the Erivan Sardar's Palace, which had originally been painted by a Persian artist in 1815.[2] He also painted 4 big (1 м X 2 м) portraits for the Sardar's Palace.[3] Mirza Kadym Erivani's works are kept in the National Art Museum of Azerbaijan, the Art Museum of Georgia, and the Hermitage.
