Garden Scene with Princes and Attendants, 15th century, 6 x 3 1/2 in. ( x cm), Ink, colors, and gold on paper, Iran or Turkey, 15th century, A beautiful arrangement of forms and richly orchestrated colors, rather than the illustration of a specific narrative, distinguishes this lovely miniature. The romantic fairyland world it depicts is drawn from the work of the well-known Persian author Sa'di. The mystical-didactic writings of Sufi poet-scholars Sa'di (13th century) and Tamu (d. 1492) were immensely popular.
