• “We attribute a delightful two-page hunting scene from the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg to Uzun Hasan. Usually it was attributed to 1470, but to Herat. But nothing in the style fits the academic precision of the product. On the contrary, there are stocky figures here, a huge variety of Turkic caps, fantastic rocks with zoomorphic endings, trees and clouds with diverse and visionary images. Like Pir Budaq for the “Kalila and Dimna” of Tehran, no other ruler of the time can be conclusively linked to this work, in which a lifetime portrait of the founder of the Aqqoyunlu dynasty Uzun Hasan can be seen in the image of a galloping bearded king warrior in the center of the composition.” in Robinson, B.

• "Thus, in the galloping horseman on the right side of the composition, we see the greatest of all Turkmen rulers of Iran captured shortly after the victory over Jahanshah and the moving of his capital to Tabriz,” in Robinson, B. W. "A Survey of Persian Painting (1350–1896)." In Art et Société dans le Monde Iranien. Ed. C. Adle. Paris, 1982, p.219
