What themes are most reflected in the miniatures of the times of Kamal al-din Behzad?

In the last quarter of the 17th century and the first half of the 16th century, when a very famous Herat master Kamal al-din Behzad lived and worked, the following themes were mainly reflected in miniature illustrations by artists: person, love, life and death, labor.

Images of ordinary people - artisans, builders (Farhad), bathhouse visitors, wrestlers, as well as Sufi sheikhs and dervishes became popular subjects of Herat miniature of the last quarter of the XV century. 

The miniature art owes much to the appearance of these plots and the mystical interpretation of the characters of classical literature to Behzad and to the fact that the Sufism movement created a special environment in the cultural life of Herat, which was based on moral values, which manifested itself in all areas of culture: literature, music, fine arts.
