Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a colorful illustration from a book titled "Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot)". The illustration depicts a woman standing in a room, wearing an orange sari with a blue top. She has long black hair and is adorned with gold jewelry. The woman stands on a floor with a hexagonal pattern, looking down at a green parrot perched on a red book. To the right of the woman is a bed with a red, blue, and gold frame. The bed has a white and gold pillow and a purple and gold blanket. The background of the illustration features a wall with a window and a decorative border. The top half of the image contains black text written in a foreign language, possibly Arabic or Persian, on a beige background. The overall scene appears to be a palace or harem setting.
