The Sotheby's 1936 catalogue entry identifies the figure of this painting as Abu'l Baqa Amir Khan, Governor of Multan. However, an official of that name does not appear in the Mughal court histories. The portrait has been mounted within illuminated margins taken from a Qur'an. It seems the same Qur'an margins were used to mount an illustration from the 'First' Baburnama now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (acc.no. 67.266.4).
