Whilst this miniature is most likely to be from Qazvin, when it appeared on the market in 1998, the suggestion was also made that it could also be the work of the artist Vali Jan, who was a native of Tabriz, before going to the Ottoman court to work under Murad III (r.1574-95).

The miniature was formerly in the collection of Madame Duffeuty, who formed an important collection of Persian and Indian paintings in the late 19th century. In 1894 she gave thirty-six of her paintings to the Musée Guimet - comprising an important part of their early acquisitions. The majority of the collection was sold in Paris at Galerie Soustiel between the 28th Feburary and the 9th April 1986.
