The infant son of the king of Isfahan responds to music, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Thirteenth Night
A colorful illustration from a book depicts a scene where a baby responds to music. The illustration shows a pink-walled room with three beds against the wall, each having a person lying on it. On the left side of the beds, a man sits with a woman on his lap; both have dark skin. The woman gestures toward the baby lying on the middle bed. In the foreground, 19 people wearing turbans sit on the floor; some play musical instruments. The seated people are dressed in orange, blue, green, yellow, red, and white clothing. The room's floor has a patterned rug. Above the scene, a beige section contains black text written in a foreign language.
