Khalis repays the prince for his kindness by changing into a snake and sucking the poison from the king’s daughter, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Eighteenth Night
The image depicts a colorful illustration of a scene from a story. A woman lies on a patterned bed, surrounded by a blue wall. She wears a yellow dress and has dark hair. A snake-like creature with a human-like face is positioned near her mouth. The creature's body is dark gray with a lighter underbelly and it appears to be sucking something from the woman's mouth. To the woman's right stands another woman, dressed in orange and white, who looks on. On the right side of the image, there are three clay pots on a table. The illustration is framed by a decorative border featuring red, gold, and blue patterns. The top half of the image contains black text written in a foreign language, likely Arabic or Persian, on a beige background.
