Answer the following question based on the painting shown:

In the painting "Noah’s Ark," what are the sons of Noah depicted doing?

Throwing Iblis, the devil, out of the ark

Answer: Throwing Iblis, the devil, out of the ark
The sons of Noah are depicted in the act of throwing Iblis, the devil, who had come to destroy the ark.

Noah’s Ark, from a dispersed Divan-i Hafiz painted manuscript of 1590, is an excellent painting in subdued colour palette and has been ascribed to Miskin, one of the masters at Akbar’s imperial atelier. Prophet Noah is in the ark, which is carrying animals in pairs so that they may continue to flourish after the threatening flood sent by God to punish human beings for their sins. In the painting, the sons of Noah are in the act of throwing Iblis, the devil, who had come to destroy the ark. The use of pure white and subtle shades of red, blue and yellow is charming. The rendering of water is convincing and the vertical perspective infuses the painting with an element of heightened dramatic energy. This painting lies in the collection of Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D. C., USA
