A richly colored miniature painting in an Ottoman style. A bearded ruler in a blue robe sits cross-legged on a golden throne under an ornate canopy, while a veiled woman in orange holds an infant. Attendants in turbans and robes stand nearby, and a crowd of men in tall hats and mixed dress gathers below. Persian-script inscriptions appear at upper right and lower left, and a tree and red banners appear above a tent in the background.
