This drawing relates closely to a fully coloured painting in a copy of Nezami's Khamsa now in the British Library and done for the Mughal emperor Akbar in 1004 AH/1595-6. It depicts Shirin entertaining Khusraw in a garden pavilion, accompanied by female attendants who play music and pour wine. Two others stand behind the couple holding a sword wrapped in cloth and a sash, both emblems of royalty. The features of Khusraw resemble those of the emperor as seen in contemporary paintings.
