From the same manuscript as under No.s 25 - 26. An episode
from the second book of Masnavi (treating of different kinds of love),
which relates how a female slave of the Caliph of Baghdad fell in love
with a fellow-slave. The miniature, which shows signs of decline in composition,
is probably the work of another artist than the painters of No.s 25 - 26,
28 and 29.”
