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. Crafted from durable canvas-like poly-poplin and made to order, double-stitched with a cotton webbing strap. The everyday haul, from groceries to the beach, carrying an independent artist's work.
