The daughter of the king of the jinns bows before the King of Kings who has just undergone the ordeal of passing through the boiling oil to emerge as a youth, from a Tuti-nama (Tales of a Parrot): Seventh Night

The miniature depicting the daughter of the jinn king paying homage to the King of Kings after his fiery trial influenced later Mughal book arts through its dramatic narrative treatment and stylized figure modeling. The composition informed subsequent folio paintings that emphasized ritual submission and supernatural encounters within courtly settings. Its visual language persisted in regional workshops producing illustrated manuscripts through the 17th century. The work remains on view in the Indian miniature gallery at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

The miniature is part of the Cleveland Museum of Art's collection of Mughal paintings from the 1560s. It is catalogued under accession number 1962.279.49.b and has been exhibited in thematic shows on Persianate manuscript traditions.

The work, titled The daughter of the king of the jinns bows before the King of Kings who has just undergone the ordeal of passing through the boiling oil to emerge as a youth, from a Tuti‑nama (Tales of a Parrot): Seventh Night, depicts a small narrative scene rendered in a flat, decorative style. Four figures are arranged before a brick structure: two men within a dark doorway, a kneeling woman in red, and a standing figure in white outside the entrance.

Executed with a limited palette, the painting emphasizes bold colors, green, orange, red, and white, against a muted architectural background. The figures are outlined with fine lines, and details such as the orange‑clad figure’s belt and jewelry are highlighted to draw attention. The flat perspective and stylized rendering align with Persian miniature conventions of the period.

Illustrations like this served both decorative and didactic purposes, accompanying literary texts that conveyed ethical lessons through fantastical episodes. The scene reflects the interplay of human and supernatural characters, a hallmark of Persian narrative art, and illustrates the cultural exchange between courtly literature and visual representation.
