This painting is very close to one formerly in the Amery collection and now in Iran: not only is the king seated in the same position, but he also wears the same informal hat. Examination of the style shows that the two are almost certainly by the same artist.
This unnamed artist, while not of the same rank as Mihr 'Ali, Mirza Baba or Abu'l-Qasim, still shows considerable ability in conveying the might and impressive appearance of the king. This is more apparent in our picture than the Amery example as the latter has been trimmed, cramping the subject within its confines.
