The central personage is clearly identified, as an inscription on the reverse reads sri nath singhji ri sibi/Portrait of Sri Nath Singhji.

For a slightly earlier depiction of a gathering of men wearing similar turbans, see Rosemary Crill, Marwar Painting: A History of the Jodhpur Style, Mumbai, 1999, fig.51, p.51 (V&A no.IS 257-1952).
