About the piece

Dating from approximately 1770, this watercolor miniature illustrates a poignant moment from the classic Persian romance of Layla and Majnun. The work showcases masterful technique in its rendering of the characters, set within a dreamlike landscape of bright green foliage and distinctive pink rock formations typical of the era's Islamic artistic tradition.
