The depiction of the figures in this painting with their long bodies slightly curved at the waist show clear influence from the Qazvin style of Safavid painting of the 1550's. A Shahnama manuscript with closely comparable illustrations also attributed to Shiraz circa 1560 is in the Topkapi Palace Museum Library in Istanbul (inv. TSML H.1500, see Lale Uluç Turkman governors Shriaz artisans and Ottoman collectors: Sixteenth Century Shiraz Manuscripts, Istanbul, 2006, no.129, pp. 180-81.
