It examines the importance of miniature painting from the Middle and Near East, as well as Central Asia, in the realm of professional pedagogical education. The author highlights that between the 11th and 19th centuries, various artistic centers for miniatures emerged and evolved across a broad region that encompasses modern-day Iran, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, the Arabian Peninsula, Northern India, and more. This development was marked by interaction and mutual influence, which shaped the similarities in their artistic techniques and compositional approaches.
