Unknown - Middle-East epic manuscript - 1800

A finely illuminated Persian manuscript page from the Qajar era, dating to the late 19th century. The page is adorned with a detailed miniature and elegant Persian Nastaʿlīq script. The central miniature depicts a courtly and narrative scene from the Persian epic tradition, with noble figures, riders, animals and symbolic elements such as lions, gazelles, and mythical birds (Simurgh). These motifs symbolize power, wisdom, and the spiritual quest and are typical of Persian manuscripts from the Shahnameh milieu. The borders are richly illustrated and frame the text and image in classic Persian manuscript design. The mineral pigments used are well preserved and demonstrate the high quality of the original work. Such manuscript pages were produced in late 19th-century Persia for educated patrons and collectors and reflect the revival of classical Persian miniature painting in the Qajar era. This is an original hand-written and hand-painted sheet, not a modern reproduction.
