¹ The Persian word *tarh* or *tarrah* has a variety of meanings, but in this connexion it may be interpreted in two ways. In one it may mean ‘foundation’, in which case it seems to refer to the original sketch or design being the work of the artist mentioned. In the other it may be translated as ‘mode’ or ‘style’, when it may indicate that the picture is ‘in the style of’ or ‘after’ the artist named.
