The painting is from Iran. It has been probably drawn by the artist Mashad of Safavid dynasty (1556 - 1565 AD) with opaque water colour, ink and gold on paper. The painting is a folio from Jami's (the greatest Persian Sufi poet of 15th century) Haft Awrang (Seven Thrones). Its title is The Townsman Robs the Villager's Orchard.
