刻印
This large painting of a courtly gathering is accompanied by a quatrain attributed to the Uzbek ruler 'Ubaydullah Khan (r.1534-9) on the subject of the beloved. It seems likely that one of the figures, or a figure in a hypothetical missing pendant painting, depicts the Uzbek Khan himself.
The present painting is particularly close to a scene of an amorous couple with attendants with which it shares the arrangement of the margins, and it may well have come from the same manuscript or album in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston (acc. no. 14.584). A comparable painting, in which a chained prisoner is brought to a ruler, is signed by Mahmud Mudhahhib, a celebrated painter of the 16th-century Uzbek court (Chicago: Art Institute, acc.no. 1998.172).
