"The Caravanserai Shah Sultan Hussein Isfahan" is a notable architectural illustration by the French architect, painter, and author Pascal Xavier Coste (1787–1879). Coste, known for his extensive work in the Middle East, particularly in Egypt and Persia, was one of the first European architects to document Islamic architecture in the region. His illustration of the Caravanserai Shah Sultan Hussein captures the grandeur and intricate details of the historical caravanserai located in Isfahan, Iran.

The caravanserai, named after Shah Sultan Hussein, the last Safavid king, was an important stopover for travelers and traders along the Silk Road. It served as a secure resting place and a hub of commercial activity, embodying the rich cultural and architectural heritage of the Safavid era. Coste's work is significant as it provides a visual record of Persian architectural style during a period when such edifices were still relatively unknown in the West.

Created during Coste's travels in the Middle East in the early 19th century, the illustration is part of his broader oeuvre that aimed to systematically study and record the architectural treasures of the Islamic world. His works were later published in several volumes, with "Monuments Modernes de la Perse" being one of the most prominent, which included the illustration of the Caravanserai Shah Sultan Hussein. This publication was instrumental in introducing Persian architecture to European audiences and remains a valuable historical resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Islamic art and architecture.

Coste's illustration is characterized by its attention to detail and accuracy, reflecting his training as an architect and his dedication to the precise rendering of the buildings he encountered. The Caravanserai Shah Sultan Hussein Isfahan stands as a testament to his commitment to cultural preservation and his role in bridging Eastern and Western architectural knowledge during the 19th century.
