EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite single leaf, dating back to the early 11th century AH/AD 17th century, originates from Iran and is a captivating example of the region's manuscript art production during the Shiraz period in the 10th century AH/AD 16th and early 11th century AH/AD 17th. The illustration on the leaf depicts a group of youths in vibrant attire, gathered before a regal monarch and his courtiers, engaging in a leisurely pastime. The king, adorned with a magnificent headdress and turban, sits on a throne framed by intricately designed gold borders. The youths, each wearing distinctive turbans and headdresses, appear to be playing a game, their faces expressing a sense of joy and merriment. The painting is executed in ink and pigments on thin paper, with gold accents adding an element of grandeur and luxury. This precious artifact, now housed in the Walters Art Museum in the United States, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Persia and the leisurely pursuits of its royalty during the seventeenth century.
