The face and dress of the subject of our painting bears comparison with that of a painting in the Rhode Island Design School Museum which has a Persian inscription at the top identifying the sitter as Nur Jahan (acc.no.17.478). A similar identifying note appears on a portrait in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (acc.no.IM.37-1912). A final example, painted in the Kishangarh style but with many similarities to our painting, can be seen in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (IM.37-1912). It is possible that paintings such as this were based on an original portrait of Nur Jahan, copied repeatedly over centuries.

The floral border to the painting, as well as the calligraphic panel on the other side, is reminiscent of the Polier Albums.
