Meanwhile, Simorgh's presence looms large overhead, symbolizing wisdom and guidance amidst chaos. This painting serves as a testament to Firdawsi's mastery in capturing not only physical beauty but also profound emotions within his artistry. It reminds us that even in moments of great turmoil or regret, there is always room for growth and redemption.
