    The Persian Life is an 1892 oil on canvas impressionist painting by Juan Luna currently located at the GSIS Museum of Fine Arts in Pasay City, Philippines. The painting depicts an interior cafe scene showing a woman sitting uncomfortably on a cushion with her legs in an unusual position, looking disappointed and unhappy while a man drinks and socializes on the other side, potentially having an affair with another man. The scene aims to convey the lesson that wealth cannot always save us and sometimes leaves us feeling empty even if we think we have more.
