"Perzische miniatuur," a miniature painting created by Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch between 1660 and 1687, depicts a figure in a gold-embroidered robe against a dark background. The figure, likely a Persian nobleman, wears a turban with a plume, a sash, and a sword. This artwork is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, and its intricate details and vibrant colors are characteristic of ter Borch's style, showcasing her fascination with foreign cultures.
