Biography
The Ghaffari family had a lengthy history of serving in government. Abu'l-Hasan's father Mirza Mo'ezz-al-din Mohammad Ghaffari was the governor of Kashan, Qom, Natanz and Jowshaqan during the reign of the Zand ruler Karim Khan Zand (Шаблон:Reign).

Abu'l-Hasan then made the decision to shift career paths. After learning the craft of annotation, he started writing official records and eventually rose to the position of court historian of Karim Khan. Due to internal strife amongst the Zand family following Karim Khan's death in 1779, Abu'l-Hasan appears to have stopped writing between 1780 and 1784. But after these problems subsided in 1784 under the rule of Ali-Morad Khan Zand (Шаблон:Reign), he started writing again, naming his historical chronicle Golshan-e Morad after the new Zand ruler. Despite changing his career path to that of a chronicler and scribe, Abu'l-Hasan never stopped painting, as demonstrated by handwritten and date-stamped paintings.Шаблон:Sfn Regarded as a skilled portrait artist, Abu'l-Hasan used "al-Mostawfi" as his signature.Шаблон:Sfn
