Among the most popular compositions in Persian manuscripts are those of elegantly dressed figures feasting in outdoor settings. Inspired by the ancient Persian ritual of bazm--a form of celebration with wine and music--these paintings and drawings are used to illustrate a number of different literary concepts and ideas. "Prince Entertained in a Garden," one of four illustrations of a Divan of Hafiz (died 1209), recalls a bazm ceremony. Seated in front of an elaborate tent, an elegant figure and his companions are conversing, drinking, and listening to music. Unlike the previous painting, the image of this princely gathering is a free interpretation of Hafiz's couplet, which reads: The rose without the beloved's cheek is not pleasant, Without wine, spring is not pleasant. Hafiz makes no specific mention of a festive gathering, musicians, or a tent, but the artist has used the concept of bazm to evoke pictorially some of the poem's abstract concepts and literary ideas.
