‘Ali Shir Nava’i (d.1501) was a close advisor to Timurid ruler Sultan Husayn Mirza in Herat. Himself a great patron of the arts, his greatest legacy was his Chagatai language poetry at a time when Persian was the predominant language of literature. This charming illustration is similar in size and style to the illustrations from a Diwan of Nava’i which was sold in these Rooms, 7 October 2008, lot 339.
