The two erring cooks, dressed as maidservants, fall at the prince’s feet and beg forgiveness, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of the Parrot): Fourth Night

The image depicts a scene with a man seated on a throne-like chair at the center. He wears a red robe with white pants and a yellow turban. His right hand is extended outward, and his left hand rests on his lap. To his right stand two men. The one closer to the seated man wears a green robe with white pants and a red turban. The other man, farther from the seated figure, wears a red robe with red pants; he is shirtless from the waist up. On the left side of the image, two people are on their knees, facing the seated man. The one on the left wears a pink head covering, a blue robe, and a white apron. The person on the right wears a purple head covering, a yellow robe, and a blue apron. The background of the scene is purple. Above the scene, there is black text written in a language that appears to be Arabic or Persian script. The text is on a beige background with a thin red and gold border around the entire image.
