The central artwork, rendered in delicate, muted tones with brushwork and traditional artistry, depicts a man sitting on the ground. Soft clouds or abstract background shapes give the scene a dreamlike atmosphere, a hallmark of Persian miniatures that often blend reality and imagination.
Surrounding the miniature painting is an ornate Khatam frame, characterized by intricate geometric star patterns meticulously crafted to form a symmetrical border. The circular medallion design draws the eye toward the center, emphasizing the intimacy of the painted scene.
