Genre/Subject Matter
This scene on the island of Shif (Jazireh-ye Shif) north of Bushehr shows the ‘landing place’. A pebbly flat shore takes up the majority of the middle- and foreground while the horizon, a long raised area, is crowded with unidentifiable bundles, sacks (presumably trade goods), figures and donkeys.
Just right of the centre along the horizon a fortified structure is discernible.
