Prince and Groom mid-16th century style This drawing is most likely an early 20th-century work in the style of the mid-16th century. The tree at the upper right is atypical of the period; the Safavid taj is out of keeping with the Qazvin-style face of the horseman; the bit of the horse is also atypical of 16th-century Safavid horse furniture.

Even the regularity of the dappling of the horse points to a modern date.. Prince and Groom 450608
