Description

A finely painted Persian miniature depicting a regal figure seated on an ornate chair, wearing an elaborately jeweled red robe and a richly adorned headdress. The ruler is portrayed with a dignified expression, holding a book and wearing a blue sash across his chest, signifying rank and authority. The background features intricate geometric and floral designs, characteristic of Persian miniature interiors.


Executed in opaque watercolor and ink on paper, the composition demonstrates fine attention to detail in both costume and ornamentation. Presented under glass within a decorative orange mount and a cream-toned wooden frame.
