The image of a realistic peasant, leaning on a table set with meticulously depicted comestibles, is directly taken from a photograph. This practice appears to be recent and is seemingly confined to very fine small Tabriz pieces intended for wall hangings. The original source may have been a painting, and the weaver demonstrates equal mastery to the painter in tonal control and detailed delineation.
