'Abd al-Husayn (d. 1340/1921-2) is recorded as a painter of portraiture, landscapes, flower and birds and illumination. He came from a family of painters headed by his father Muhammad Kazim and his grand-father Najaf'ali. The date he received his title Sani' Homayun is not known but is likely to have been given by Muzaffar al-Din Shah.
