PLATE XLI

The Death of Suhrāb

The figure of the king, bending over the son whom he has unwittingly slain, is full of pathos. Rustam's famous steed, Rakhsh, stands in the upper background. From a Persian manuscript of the Shāhnāmah, dated 1605-08 a.d., now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
