Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the results of the interdisciplinary research of one of the Qajar paintings "Lady with Servant" preserved in the Sh. Amiranashvili Art Museum, Georgian National Museum. Still in his historical monograph on Qajar easel painting, Sh. Amiranashvili attribute this painting to the so-called the folk stream of Iranian Art and dates it to the second half of the 19th century. The method of artistic-stylistic analysis of the painting, as well as interdisciplinary studies, revealed an inscription on it, according to which it was possible to determine the depicted story, and also, additional research and the study of the general trends of the monuments of the folk stream allowed us to determine the story depicted on the canvas, in particular, the story of Prince Bahram Gur and one of the episodes of his love affair with the Chinese princess Gulandam. The comparative analysis of parallel material and monuments of material culture allowed us to more accurately date the painting by the 40s-50s of the 19th century.
