Kamal al-Din Gazurghai (b. circa 1470) was a Persian dignitary and poet of the late 15th century and early 16th century. The Majalis al-Ushaq is a biographical account of over 70 notable Sufis, poets and members of the Turkic elite and is considered his best known work, completed around 1503 AD. The present painting portrays the meeting of 'Abdullah Ansari and Abu Ahmad' and is evidently from a fine early Safavid copy of the text, likely produced in Shiraz around 1570.
