Wives and Archetypes
Detail of "Rudaba's Maids Return to the Palace", Folio 71v from the Shahnama (Book of Kings) of Shah Tahmaspca. 1525, Abu'l Qasim Firdausi. No, it’s not the Book of Esther, but too much art of the Book of Esther portrays everyone as Eurocentrically white and looks like it happened in Germany or France. I thought Iranian art would be a better illustration for a story that takes place at Persian court. This kind of looks like it could be a detail from the story, no?
