This painting shows two men seated under a floral awning in a garden. Pink and white blossoms frame the scene. One man holds a wine cup. The other grips a curved knife. It comes from a huge book of stories called the Hamzanama. The book took years to make. Artists mixed Persian and Indian styles in each page. This book has 1400 pictures. See it in person at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
