And finally, folio 26a (fig. 9.8) presents yet another Indian type – as can be deciphered from his clothes – depicted probably by Ottoman artists. Seated in the lower right corner of the folio, this figure holds a long-form poetic book (safina), a chap book of sorts, and appears in conversation with the much smaller Ottoman female figure gesturing towards him from the other side of the frame separating them. They are accompanied by other studies of single figures from various regions, though mostly Ottoman, in the upper portion of the folio.
