This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Angel (Peri) Riding a Composite Camel" created around 1700 by an unknown artist. The image, housed in the renowned Art Institute of Chicago, takes us on a journey back to the 18th century. In this mesmerizing piece from Asia's rich artistic heritage, we witness an angelic figure gracefully perched atop a composite camel. The intricate details of the ink wash gold and color on paper bring life to this ethereal scene.

The composition captures not only the beauty of these celestial beings but also their spiritual significance within religious traditions. As our eyes are drawn closer, we can appreciate every stroke that forms delicate patterns on both rider and mount.
