This is a page from William Morris’s illustrated edition of "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam," a collection of quatrains by the 11th-century Persian poet and astronomer. The image depicts a couple embracing, likely representing the themes of love and life explored in Khayyam's poetry. It is characteristic of Morris’s style with a detailed and intricate use of colors and patterns. The text and illustrations showcase the Arts and Crafts movement’s emphasis on beauty and craftsmanship.
