These are extremely well-executed copies of 15th- and 16th-century Persian miniatures (Timurid and Safavid). Created after folios from manuscripts created at the Muslim courts of 16th-century Persia (Tabriz and Shiraz), they typify Muslim manuscripts of the era. The subject matter of the miniatures ranges from hunting to romantic scenes in both interior and exterior settings.
