The merchant Mansur departs on a sea voyage, leaving his wife behind, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Seventeenth Night
The image depicts a scene of a boat on water with people on board and a woman standing on a platform or in a doorway to the right. The boat has a brown hull with a zig-zag pattern along the top edge and a small cabin with a black and white striped roof. A man in an orange robe sits in the cabin, while three men in different colored robes - blue, red, and green - sit on the deck. A pole with a flag and streamers rises from the center of the boat. To the right of the boat, a woman stands on a red platform or in a doorway, wearing a yellow top and blue bottoms. She has dark hair and appears to be waving at the people on the boat. The background features a blue sky with clouds and a body of water. The overall atmosphere suggests a scene from a story or legend, possibly related to the title "The merchant Mansur departs on a sea voyage, leaving his wife behind." The image includes text at the top, written in a language that appears to be Arabic or Persian, and features intricate borders and designs throughout.
