Persian miniature: a battle, a garden pavilion and a hero fighting a dragon

Persian miniature stacks space instead of receding it: tiny horsemen on lapis ground, a lovers' garden with a stream, a hero and a dragon among pink rocks. These nine render a battle, a garden pavilion and a hero-and-dragon scene, as a Safavid-school folio, an aged folio, or modern flat illustration. Ask for a polo game or a hunting scene instead and the same three styles redraw it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?

Each image is drawn in portrait format (832×1216) with an even margin — prints clean on A4 held vertically.

Can I use my own scene instead of the three shown?

Yes — the direction field takes your own idea, such as a polo game or a hunting scene, and the same three styles draw it.

What's the difference between the three styles?

Safavid is the classic gold-and-lapis illuminated-margin look; faded folio softens the pigments and worn gold as if aged; modern flat cleans the composition into bright vector illustration.

Is this a reproduction of a real manuscript?

These are new images drawn in the Persian-miniature tradition — not reproductions of a specific historical Shahnameh page.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
