About the painting
Muhammad ‘Ali Beg was the ambassador sent to the Mughal court by Shah Abbas of Iran, who arrived in time for the court's New Year festival in March 1631. He remained there until October 1633, during which time his portrait was painted by the royal artist, Hashim. The painting is inscribed in Persian ‘likeness of Muhammad Ali Beg, ambassador, the work of Hashim’, possibly by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. It was later mounted on a page with margins decorated with flowering plants and insects for inclusion in an album for the emperor.
A copy of this painting, done in the early 19th century and with a border of verses not included in this original, is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (55.121.10.27v).
