‘A lyrical spirit fills these miniatures* in a perfect balance between the natural world and the human actors, above all in the “Khusrau’s First Sight of Shirin” by Sultan Muhammed, perhaps his last work, the “Majnun attended by the Wild Beasts in the Desert” by Aqa Miraq, and the anonymous “Flight of Muhammed through the Heavens”.
