The recto and verso of this detached manuscript folio are adorned with intricate texts, created using opaque watercolor, ink, and gold on paper. Measuring at 26.3x17 cm (10 3/8 x 6 11/16 in), it is currently housed at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The acquisition of this remarkable piece was made possible through various sources including the Smithsonian Unrestricted Trust Funds, Smithsonian Collections Acquisition Program, and Dr. Arthur M. Sackler himself. With its origins dating back to around c. 1575 during Iran's vibrant artistic period, this folio represents both historical significance and artistic brilliance. Once part of Henri Vever's collection, this manuscript folio features poems illuminated with meticulous attention to detail that is characteristic of Persian artistry. The rich colors and delicate brushwork bring life to each word written on its pages. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported into a world where literature meets visual splendor - a testament to human creativity spanning centuries and continents.
