Notes
Islamic art is often thought to be devoid of representations of people. However, many works of art made in the Islamic world depict people. Their presence is particularly noticeable in applied arts or pieces made for daily life, such as those of these doors, which show ideal scenes of leisure and entertainment in court life in Iran. The activities of the inhabitants of the court include relaxation, entertainment and hunting, and its shape is derived from paintings painted in the seventeenth century.
