The painting shows two domes and four minarets wholly covered with blue faience bricks of the shrines of Imam Musa Bin Jaafar (The seventh Imam, born 128 AH / 745 CE - 183 AH / 799 CE) and his grandson, Imam Mohammad Al-Jawad (The Ninth Imam, born 195 AH / 810 CE - 220 AH) / 835 AD) according to the Twelver Muslims, they are descendants of Imam Ali Bin Abi Talib and Sayyida Fatima Al-Zahraa, daughter of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). The shrines are located in the Karkh region, called the Quraish Cemeteries in Abbasid Baghdad, and now called the Al-Kadhimiya area. This painting documents the architecture of the mausoleums before the fifteenth century AD.
