Painting

This is thought to be a portrait of Husain Quli Khan, the deputy governor of Dacca (now Dhaka, capital of Bangladesh). He is shown seated under a canopy on a terrace, smoking a huqqa (water-pipe) and attended by two men. Siraj ud-Daula, the Nawab (ruler) of Bengal, envied his wealth and power, and had him murdered in Murshidabad, the capital of Bengal, in 1754.
