Among art categories, Persian miniature paintings have a very high reputation. Persian miniature paintings are also called Iranian miniature paintings. Persian miniature paintings first appeared in illustrations in books. Miniature painting began to have a significant Mongolian style in the 13th century AD. At the same time, it was influenced by Mongolian art and finally reached its peak in the 15th and 16th centuries. Because the Mongols at that time wanted to write "Historical Collection" and other similar types of works, they added some illustrations. This movement effectively promoted the development and growth of Persian miniature painting in the world, allowing Persian miniature painting known to more people, and the development of Persian miniature painting has broken the previous constraints on figure painting in Islamic countries and created its own distinctive artistic style. After relevant investigation and understanding, it was found that the current academic research on Persian miniature paintings is mostly around the techniques, composition and color of Persian miniature paintings. For this reason, this thesis research will mainly be based on the research of other scholars. In it, the image of Mongolian figures in Persian miniature paintings is discussed in detail to deepen the understanding of Persian miniature paintings.
