This is the first painting to appear in the Gulistan, and it represents a story in the first chapter, “On the Conduct of Kings.” Beside a cave-mouth under a starry sky, one group attacks and defeats another, taking prisoners. It is marked as page 189 in the manuscript.
See AKM284 for an introduction to the Kulliyat (Collected Works) of Sa'di, and other paintings from this manuscript.
