The Top Kapi Museum has a precious collection of drawings (and some other penmanship, like calligraphic writing, and even some “scissorship” in cut-out calligraphic work), some of them Persian in style, some more in a Chinese style.

Do you know what the time period is for "Woman Smelling Flower"? Or any of the art or garments? Having to time periods with the pictures would help people who are researching the history of the area. If you could e-mail me with an approximate date, I would be very grateful. scarletdusk2003@yahoo.com Thank you very much, Rose Noble
