This is an illustration of a young woman applying henna to her feet, a ritual associated with rite of passage celebrations, specifically marriage, in ancient Persia. The sitter’s right foot rests on a pile of henna leaves. The painting dates from the late 16th Century (the early part of the Safavid era) when artists were beginning to focus on everyday events in people's lives. By an unknown artist, it is now in the possession of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
