About the library
An open visual archive of Iranian and Persianate art. Contributors carefully cut figures, creatures, plants, patterns and objects out of historical artworks, and anyone can browse and download them for free — as transparent PNGs, and often as SVG vectors too.
What you can find here
Figures, animals, plants, architecture, patterns and objects cut from Persian miniature paintings — from the schools of Herat, Tabriz and Isfahan to Qajar and Mughal works.
