Afghanistan: late 15th century painting of a hunting scene from the Hast Bahist by Kamal al-Din Bihzad.

Kamal ud-Din Behzad Herawi (c. 1450 - c. 1535), also known as Kamal al-din Bihzad or Kamaleddin Behzad, was a painter of Persian miniatures and head of the royal ateliers in Herat and Tabriz during the late Timurid and early Safavid periods. An orphan, he was raised by the prominent painter Mirak Naqqash, and was a protege of Mir Ali Shir Nava'i. His major patron in Herat was the Timurid sultan Husayn Bayqarah (ruled 1469 - 1506).
