Islamic wall art print of al-Khwarizmi teaching algebra to a small circle of students in early Abbasid Baghdad. Soft watercolour washes, fine ink lines and no facial features, with the scene fading into white space at the edges. A quiet, scholarly piece for a study, classroom, home office or library wall.
Al-Khwarizmi named algebra, gave it methods and terminology, and the word algorithm comes from his own name. His work on the decimal positional system and astronomical tables underpinned centuries of mathematics in Europe and beyond.
A meaningful gift for a maths teacher, an engineer, a computer science graduate or anyone who loves Islamic history. Part of the Riwayah Studio Islamic Golden Age collection: Muslim scholar art, Islamic science poster, mathematics wall decor, Islamic heritage print.
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.
