Truly beautiful art, and lots on fascinating details. Thanks for sharing!

About 5/6 down the page there are paintings named "Painting of a Woman Musician from Hasht-Behesht palace,1669". Same picture is used in "tar" article in Wikipedia. Interesting - I had somehow though the instrument was of somewhat later date than late 17th century. The colours are very bright - maybe the painting has been restored at some time?
