Miniature of a Persian Lady Embroidering
A rare sixteenth century Iranian miniature showes a lady working her embroidery. The image comes from a folio of the late fifteenth century Persian work, the Haft Aurang (‘Seven Thrones’), by Nur ad-Din Abd-ar Rahman Jami (d. 1492), from the verso: 'The Flight of the Tortoise'. The manuscript is now in the Freer Gallery of Art, Washington DC, USA.
