Ahmed ibn Mohammed al-Makkari, quoting al-Shaqundi, in his book Nafhu-t-tíb Min Ghosni-l-Andalusi-r-rattíb Wa Táríkh Lisánu-d-Dín Ibni-l-Khattíb

Inspired by the quoted passage above, and drawn while listening to Gol-e Gandom(which is, rather unmatched to the subject, a Persian song) sung by Monika Jalili.
