Q
Anonymous asked:
Would you tell us why in some of the paintings they draw persians/iranians with eastern asian resemblance?
A
Disclaimer: I am by no means an art historian; I just really enjoy art. So, to answer your question, imma refer you to Wikipedia’s article on Persian miniatures:
Much of the Chinese influence in Persian art is probably indirect, transmitted through Central Asia. There appear to be no Persian miniatures that are clearly the work of a Chinese artist or one trained in China itself…The format and composition of the Persian miniature received strong influence from Chinese paintings.
Hope that helps!

Some of it might also be due during the Mongol invasion?
