Notes
The painting illustrates the final episode of Tale XXVIII of Chapter 3. The boy who successfully shoots his arrow through the ring has been largely obscured by the damage at the upper left of the page, but his left hand and the bow are visible. | Part of a set of eight pages from a Gulistan of Sa'di ca. 1595 held by the Cincinnati Art Museum. Cincinnati's eight pages were painted by eight different court artists, each known from his work in other manuscripts commissioned by Akbar. Their names were added to the lower margins by a court librarian. See Pride of the Princes: Indian Art of the Mughal Era in the Cincinnati Art Museum, 1985. | Culture: Islamic, Persian | Materials/Techniques: opaque watercolor, gold, ink, paper | more | less
