The miniature painting and painters of Persia, India and Turkey, from the 8th to the 18th century ...
A 1912 London survey by art historian F. R. Martin tracing miniature painting in Persia, India and Turkey from the 8th to 18th century, written for collectors and scholars of Near Eastern art. Its plates show single figures in court dress, horsemen, a seated scribe, and a dense grid of small portraits, with a designer able to draw on their flat decorative pattern, rich borders and muted ink-and-wash tones.
