Walters manuscript W.620 has a brown leather blind-stamped binding with a flap. The binding is decorated with a central oval medallion and pendants. This binding is not original to the manuscript.
​這幅作品被命名為《昆侖松鶴》。昆侖是指神仙們居住的神山——昆侖山。據推測位於中國西部,是中國的大河——黃河的源頭。松和鶴都是長壽的象徵,是和神仙故事頗有關聯的題材。畫面右上方有畫家的署名,並寫著送給一位叫做李懷素的人。以昆侖山上的松樹以及聚集在此的仙鶴為繪畫題材的這幅作品主題極為吉祥,作為賀壽之禮極為相稱。 作者呂健是活躍於十六世紀到十七世紀的人物。其曾祖父呂紀是一位著名的宮廷畫家。呂紀有很多構圖周密的大型花鳥圖作品,其華麗的色彩和細膩的筆法不僅在中國,也在朝鮮半島和日本大受追捧,呂紀的繪畫風格在東亞地區到了廣泛傳播。 呂健不僅認真學習呂紀的花鳥畫,似乎還將其轉化成了更加瀟灑而又惹人憐愛的表現。這幅作品中姿態優美地彎曲著長頸的仙鶴以及以淡綠色輕輕暈開的松葉都充分表現出了呂健的審美觀。淡淡的墨影巧妙地表現出水面上湧起的波浪,以極具透明感的白色顏料細緻描繪的羽毛線條等卓越的描寫技術也是看點所在。

The setting for the painting is the royal stables in Isfahan. The upper portion of the scene consists of a platform on which are gathered the shah, or Persian king, who appears next to the column on the right; five kneeling courtiers; and various attendants serving fruit and wine. The king is identified in the artist’s signature at the upper left as Shah ‘Abbas II, who died in 1666, but it is possible that the undated painting was executed after his death. The ruler’s status is emphasized by his golden halo and by the opulent gold and jeweled vessels placed before him. The lower portion shows a roundup of horses who bear the trident-like royal brand on their flanks; they move in a spiral that coils counterclockwise from the upper right. The scene bursts with energy and looks chaotic—a brawl is taking place at the lower left—but the courtiers and handlers seem to be getting control of the animals. The figures on the platform, meanwhile, pay no attention to the commotion below. The painting represents a new journalistic, even anecdotal approach to Persian painting introduced in the second half of the seventeenth century. The viewer gets the sense that the work may record a specific moment in daily life at court and that it was observed firsthand. Figures no longer conform to stock types but are highly individualized by facial features and dress. Standing just to the right of center in the upper part of the roundup scene is a man wearing a gold, fur-lined, armless jacket. He holds a list and is writing notes while conferring with a young man in a blue robe. The man taking notes may well be the supervisor of the royal stud, one of whose responsibilities was to inspect the king’s stables and keep an inventory of the animals.
Walters manuscript W.619 is an illuminated manuscript containing 2 works by Sa"di (died 691 AH/AD 1292): the Gulistan (Rose garden) and the Bustan (Orchard). It was copied in 980 AH/AD 1572 by Muhammad Riza al-Tabrizi in Iran. The text of the Gulistan appears in the main area, while that of the Bustan is inscribed obliquely around the main text area on three sides. Both texts are written in black and gold nasta"liq script. The margins are multi-colored, gold-sprinkled tinted or marbled paper. The original leather binding dates to the 10th century AH/AD 16th and has dentelle-style decorated boards and doublures with gold filigree work over a multi-colored ground of blue, green, red, and black.

This drawing, Walters manuscript leaf W.749, was executed in Safavid Iran, most probably in the late 10th century AH/AD 16th, in Qazvin or Isfahan. Above, a farmer plows; below, a seated young man watches a produce seller weigh his purchase. On the rocks in the center foreground is inscribed the name of one of the most famous painters in Iran in the 11th century AH/AD 17th, Riza 'Abbasi (active 1001-1044 AH/AD 1591-1592 to 1634). As the handwriting does not match that of the artist, an admirer of Riza's work seems to have attributed the drawing to him. The execution and the bucolic subject matter of this drawing relate closely to the oeuvre of the Persian artist Muhammadi Haravi (active late 10th century AH/AD 16th), who worked in Qazvin. It is possible that this composition was conceived as a manuscript page.
