An Islamic Hunting Scene Painting on Cloth with Calligraphic Figures.
A rectangular painting on cloth depicting a lively hunting scene set within a rocky and grassy landscape. At the right, a mounted horseman in red garments advances forward, while several antelope-like animals are shown in motion across the field. The animals and select figures are rendered with integrated Arabic calligraphy forming their bodies, creating a strong visual contrast between figural outline and script-filled interiors. Additional elements include a peacock perched above the scene and rocky outcrops with sparse vegetation in the foreground and background.
Approximately 76.3 x 55.4cm (incl. frame)
