On the verso in Devanagari, latība sāha ro bāpa haidara sāha rī surati, “Portrait of Haider Shah, father of Latif Shah” Adūṇi retho (?) resu sam[vat] 1748 an 17. This appears to give the date Vikram Samvat 1748, (1691–92 AD), the 17th day of the month although the month itself is unclear
In Persian, Nawab ‘Abd al-Qadir

The inscriptions on the reverse seem to suggest two different identities for the subject of the painting. The first is possibly 'Abd al-Qadir Amin Khan, a noble from the court of Ibrahim Qutb Shah (r.1550-80) at Golconda. The other is Haidar Shah. Although less is known on him, his son Sarfraz Khan Saiyid Latif (known as Latif Shah, d.1707) is recorded in the Ma'sir al-Umara (Samsam ud Daula Shah Nawaz Khan, tr. H. Beveridge, Kolkata, 1952, pp. 718-719). Latif Shah is recorded as being in the service of the rulers of Bijapur before entering the service of Aurangzeb. Given the partially legible date below, this is perhaps the more likely candidate.
