The young prince recounts his experiences to his father, the king, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Eighth Night
The image depicts a colorful illustration with a man sitting on a throne-like chair wearing an orange robe with a white sash. He faces a kneeling man with a beard who wears blue. Two boys in orange stand beside him, looking up at him. Another man wearing green stands behind the throne holding a staff. A man in yellow sits on the floor to the right. A woman stands to the right in an alcove wearing red. A small table with objects on it sits on a patterned rug. Text written in a foreign language, likely Arabic or Persian, is at the bottom. The scene is framed by a decorative border.
