Description

A finely detailed Persian miniature painting depicting a partially draped nude woman seated in an interior setting, leaning gracefully against a green bolster cushion. The figure is adorned with jewelry and rendered with delicate facial features and refined brushwork. The background showcases vibrant architectural elements and a scenic view through an open window, typical of Persian miniature artistry.


Executed in opaque watercolor and ink on paper, the composition is framed within a vivid purple border and presented under glass in a tiered wooden frame. The painting exemplifies the refinement and sensuality of Persian courtly art of the period.

Painting: 19 x 10cm
