These panels can be compared to a set of calligraphic panels by Mirza Ghulam Riza (d. 1886-87 AD). They are written in a similar jali nasta'liq script and arranged in a similar composition (Mary McWilliams and David J. Roxburgh, Traces of the Calligrapher, Islamic Calligraphy in Practice, C. 1600-1900, Houston, 2007, pp.84-86, fig.58).
