Description: | This image retains an illuminated gold floral boarder, enlarged in a second, outer boarder. It depicts Qazi with a long white beard, in a simple white robe and turban. He is lying asleep on a red and green carpet beyond a bed of flowers. Around him is the debris of the night before; fruit, bottles and overturned glasses. Behind him are a number of books and candles. Propped against a gold pillow is the farrier's son who wears rich clothes - a gold sash, pearls and an orange turban. He too is sleeping. To the right of Qazi stands the king, recognisable by his rich pink and gold robes. His face is concerned. On the right of the painting there is a huddle of courtiers, exchanging glances, against a night skyline. On the far left side of the painting in an internal space (separated by a grey wall) is a hunched figure in plain white robes, who sleeps also.
