From the Cleveland Museum of Art record

‘Ubaid, who was so infatuated with his new wife that he neglected his duties, is embraced by his father, the merchant of Tirmiz, who happily welcomes his repentance. ‘Ubaid has learned a lesson about the importance of familial obedience from a wise, talking parrot and a myna bird. A golden ewer and a piece of blue-and-white Chinese porcelain are visible in the scene.
