Folio 195r: Siyavush Recounts His Nightmare to Farangis
Mehran DHN
Siyavush, a Persian prince, awoke one night from a horrible nightmare. The dream, which proved to be prophetic, showed the destruction of his kingdom and foreshadowed the end of his life. Attributed to Qadimi and Mir Musavvir, the second supervisor of the Shahnama project, this folio combines the spatial logic of the Herat style with the elongated figures typical of Safavid painting under Shah Isma'il.
