Graphic art
From the late 15th century, artists in Iran and India created independent drawings and paintings that no longer corresponded to a specific text. This exhibition of some 30 works includes several by the most celebrated painter of this genre, Riza Abbasi, and of other notable artists active in 16th and 17th century.
