The story
Poet of Ghazni who turned from court praise to mystical verse and made the masnavi a vehicle for Sufi teaching. This portrait is imagined, not a likeness: it belongs to the series Persiahaus Studio drew for the Greats of Persian poetry.
Persiahaus Studio drew sanai with a grey beard and a saffron turban, against a saffron halo on turquoise, with a fruiting tree for his Garden of Truth.
