Abstract
This article examines the artistic legacy of Sadriddin Pachchoev, a former jeweler and master craftsman who occupies a distinctive place in the history of Bukhara miniature painting. In creating his works, Pachchoev did not merely reproduce objects mechanically; rather, he intuitively perceived the unity of individual details and produced a simple yet expressive image of the world through his own artistic vision. His works are marked by lyrical sensitivity, emotional intensity, decorative richness, and a close connection with folk artistic traditions. Particular attention is paid to the way in which the artist combined the conventions of traditional miniature painting with the themes, visual impressions, and social realities of a new historical period.
