PAINTING BY UNKNOWN. "The Eavesdropper", Folio 47r from a Haft Paikar (Seven Portraits) of the Khamsa (Quintet) of Nizami

"The Eavesdropper", Folio 47r from a Haft Paikar (Seven Portraits) of the Khamsa (Quintet) of Nizami. Artist: Painting by Unknown. Calligrapher: Maulana Azhar (d. 1475/76). Dimensions: Painting: H. 8 7/8 in. (22.5 cm)
 W. 4 7/8 in. (12.4 cm)
Page: H. 11 in. (27.9 cm)
 W. 7 3/16 in. (18.3 cm)
Mat: H. 19 1/4 in. (48.9 cm)
 W. 14 1/4 in. (36.2 cm). Poet: Nizami (Ilyas Abu Muhammad Nizam al-Din of Ganja) (probably 1141-1217). Date: ca. 1430.
This folio once illustrated a magnificent manuscript of Nizami's Haft Paikar (Seven Portraits). The story of the Seven Portraits comprises a series of moralizing tales as told to the Persian hero Bahram Gur by seven princesses. This lively and lyrical scene illustrates a story in which a youth spies upon maidens swimming in a garden pool by moonlight. The voyeur is barely visible here, peering out of the shuttered window, unbeknownst to the playful bathers below.
