Description
A richly detailed Persian miniature depicts Alexander the Great in ornate dress consulting with a dervish amid a lush garden filled with flowering trees, attendants, and animals. Gold leaf frames the composition while warm ochres, deep blues, and jewel tones create a densely layered scene of courtly meeting rendered with meticulous brushwork and intricate pattern throughout. Precision-cut from thick, satin-finish paperboard and made to order, in 500 or 1,000 pieces. An afternoon spent building an independent artist's work.
