Miniature Design

The word “miniature” means showing everything smaller and its history goes back to before Islam. Miniatures are originally Iranian original paintings that have the characteristics of traditional Iranian painting and did not follow the European painting style. The design of miniature carpets is adapted from historical, epic and mystical stories, and the face in these designs is often drawn in profile and sometimes from behind.

In this design, in the texture of faces, the principles of proportionality of members and dimensions are not strictly observed.
