ALT Detail from a 17th century painting of a scene from Sa'di's Gulistan. Description from the Met museum: "This painting was created during the reign of Mughal Emperor Jahangir (r. 1605–27) and illustrates a scene from the Gulistan of Sa'di, a 13th century poetic collection of moral tales. In this story, an old man takes on a much younger wife, named Pearl, but is unable to consummate the marriage. Complaining of his wife's inadequacies but unable to see his own, the old man takes the issue up with the local qadi (or magistrate), seated at the right of the scene."
