The third suitor strikes the devotee’s daughter and thus restores her to life, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Twentieth Night
An illustration depicting a scene with four men and a bird. The men are dressed in traditional attire, including long tunics and pants. One man, wearing a purple tunic with gold accents, holds a bow and appears to be in motion, possibly hitting another figure. The figure being hit, a woman in a blue dress with gold accents, is slumping forward. A man in an orange tunic and another in a blue tunic with gold accents observe the scene. A black bird perches on a white structure behind them. The background features green grass and a blue section at the bottom right. The top half of the image contains handwritten text in a language that appears to be Arabic or Persian. The illustration is framed by a tan border with darker edges.
