Sultan Muhammad Nur|Mahmud Muzahib|Shaikh Zada|Nizami
A.H. 931/1524–25 CE · Ink, opaque watercolor, and gold on paper · Islamic Art
This scene takes place totally within the pavilion. The attendants, in their relaxed tête-à- tête, pay little attention to the royal couple who seem engrossed with one another. While the text calls for everything to be in red, the artist has used the color to unite the composition.
