ARCHITECTURE Swimming Pool, c1430

From Haft Paikar (Seven Portraits) of the Khamsa (Quintet) of Nizami of Ganja held at Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. 13.228.13.6

COMMENT: This lively and lyrical scene illustrates a story in which a youth spies upon maidens swimming in a garden pool by moonlight. The voyeur is barely visible here, peering out of the shuttered window, unbeknownst to the playful bathers below.
