拍品专文

A copy of a masnavi by Nur al-Din Jilali Jaghata'i (d. 1530 AD) in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore is signed by Mu'izz al-Din Muhammad al-Husayni and dated 1570-71 AD (https://art.thewalters.org/viewwoa.aspx?id=37779). The illumination of the opening bifolio is also very similar in style to that of the present panel.
