Miniature painting on antiqued paper – Painting design (Battle of the Dragon and the Goat)
This delicate miniature is a representation of Far Eastern miniature art.
The dragon motif entered Persian art in the post-Islamic era, particularly during the Timurid period, following the transfer of Chinese artistic traditions to Iran after the Mongol invasion.
In Persian miniature painting, the dragon is depicted as a gigantic serpent with lion-like legs and paws.
