Illustration til Adam Olearius, “Persianischer Rosenthal von einem Sinnreichen Poeten Schich Saadi […]”, Schleswig 1660 1660

This illustration by J. Muller from 1660 depicts a scene from the Persian poet Saadi's *Gulistan*. The *Gulistan* is a collection of stories and poetry known for its wisdom and moral insights. This particular illustration shows a man dressed in traditional Persian attire running away from another figure, perhaps representing the fleeting nature of worldly pleasures. Muller's detailed etching captures the scene’s drama and invites viewers to contemplate the moral message within. It is currently located at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
