If I'm correctly informed, Muslims aren't allowed art that depicts living beings according to the Koran. This drawing would be stretching the point but allowing it would be a reach for a truly backward mullah.

Though true, the Ottoman civilization and the the mughlai rulers of india were big patrons of the visual arts. Mughlai miniatures are on display in England and India and show that despite current Wahhabi fanatical injunctions against visual art, in the past this interpretation was not widely accepted.
