A young man visits a dervich. The topic of the visit to the hermit was often exploited by Iranian and Indian artists. Several Persan poems put in contrast the character of the prince and that of the hermit. This painting is a page of an album and one does not know if it acts as an insulated piece of work or as a page taken from a manuscript. It can be put in connection with one of the episodes of the poem of Helali, the King and the dervish, composed about 1505, which tells the story of the friendship between a young prince and an ascetic. Beginnung of the 17th century; Iran or Afghanistan Gouache and gold on paper, 21,2cm x 12,1cm OA 7097

Mongol warriors on horseback from Rashid Al-Din's (1247 - 1318) enormous universal history, the "Jami al-Tawarikh"; 14th Century CE. The Jami al-Tawarikh was commissioned by Mahmud Ghazan, begun as a history of the Mongols and their dynasty and then expanded to include history from Adam to Rashid al-Din's present day. It was completed during the reign of Oljeitu in 1307-1316. The Jami' al-Tawarikh is perhaps the single most comprehensive Persian source on the Mongol period.
