The old man eats of the fruit of the Tree of Life, but drops dead, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Ninth Night

The image depicts a colorful illustration of a scene with several men. A man in a red shirt and green pants sits on a large, ornate throne-like chair with a yellow backrest. He holds a piece of fruit in his right hand. To his right, there are four men sitting on a patterned rug, dressed in vibrant attire. From left to right, they wear orange, purple, and orange and green clothing. A man in a red long-sleeved shirt and white pants lies on the floor in front of the throne, appearing to have fallen over. On the left side of the image, two men in orange and blue clothing stand behind the throne. The background features a white wall with a green doorway and a red lower section. The floor has a patterned tile design. A yellow border surrounds the illustration, with a blue inner section adorned with floral patterns. Below the image, there is a section of black text written in a foreign language on a yellowed background.
