This is the ninth painting to appear in the Bustan, and it is marked as page 147 in the manuscript. Returning to the nim qalam (half pen) aesthetic, this painting, completed in a light wash of colour, represents a fruit-picker who has fallen and lies unconscious at the foot of a date palm.
See AKM284 for an introduction to the Kulliyat (Collected Works) of Sa'di, and other paintings from this manuscript.
