Detailed description
The 40 × 30 cm Persian miniature depicts the classic theme of a cavalry battle scene, following the tradition of the Safavid-Mughal style. In the composition, twelve warriors and numerous horses swirl against a golden background, with rhythmic, stylized movements. The combination of black outlines, fine gold, and vibrant colors creates a rich decorative effect. The painting is handcrafted, made using watercolor and gold pigment, likely in a workshop in Isfahan or Shiraz, around the mid-20th century. The ornate inlaid wooden frame evokes patterns of Persian ornamentation. The image is not only decorative but also preserves the symbolic world of Persian visual culture.
