Two-panel painting: a seated figure in pink holds a wheat sheaf in an oval, and below a woman in yellow sits beside a black bird as another figure in pink bends toward her.

Signs of the zodiac: Virgo, the maiden. Gouache painting by an Persian artist.

A gouache painting in two panels: an oval upper scene shows a seated figure in a pink robe holding a sheaf of wheat over grass, while below a seated woman in yellow sits beside a black bird as a standing figure in pink bends toward her. Against a pale sky with birds, bright flat colours recall Persian miniature painting.
