Shah Tahmasp I (1514–1576) Seated in a Landscape
The image depicts a man sitting cross-legged on a patterned rug. He wears a white turban resembling a cone, a pink shirt, and a blue robe with gold floral designs. The man has a white beard and mustache. He sits on an orange circular pillow, with a blue and gold object to his right. A small gold object rests on the rug to his left. The background features a tree with hanging branches. A gold frame surrounds the image, and flowers and rocks are scattered along the bottom. The sky appears to have birds flying in it.
