Emphasis
Hi.
During the Qajar time, many paintings have been painted by different artists, in some of which the sign of staff is seen completely clearly. In most of the paintings, the emphasis is on a figure from the religious class, mystics and Sufis, or an official governmental figure, but the masses are less often seen in such paintings.

The emphasis is on...................
The focus is on...........................
