The Marriage of Khusraw and Shirin | Restored Persian Miniature

The Marriage of Khusraw and Shirin — from an illustrated Khamsa (Quintet) of the poet Nizami.

The romance of Khusraw and Shirin, with the sculptor Farhad as tragic rival, is one of the five great poems of Nizami’s Khamsa.

The Khamsa (Quintet) of Nizami — five romantic and moral epics including Layla and Majnun and Khusraw and Shirin — was among the most beloved and most often illustrated works of Persian literature. This painting comes from one of its illustrated manuscript copies.

Carefully restored from a high-resolution archival image and printed as a museum-quality matted framed poster on enhanced matte art paper, or as a fine art paper print. Each piece is produced to order.
