A vintage Persian Tabriz Pictorial rug. A young male in 17th-century garb, including orange shalwars (baggy trousers) grasps a leaning, flowering slender tree on a powder blue ground, while three small birds observe the event. The dark brown border displays rosettes, palmettes, and more birds. The youth holds a wine cup and the sapling serves to steady him in his inebriated state. The iconography of the “Yearning Youth”.
