Two young men with a led horse
- Scope & Content:
-
Miniature painting: two young men with a led horse. The one on the right appears to be a prince with an aigrette in his turban; the other is a groom or running footman wearing an elaborately plumed fur-edged cap and carrying an axe. A trifle rubbed and discoloured, but good work.
Bukhara style: third quarter sixteenth century. 8.5 by 14.5 cm (page 37 by 23.5 cm).
Illuminated frame: plain margin with large floral scrolls in gold. On reverse, illuminated ‘nasta‘liq’ calligraphy by Ja‘far al-Husayni written in vermilion, dated 1002/1594.
‘VAM 1951’ No. 72.
