About the painting
This Mughal portrait painted in about 1610-15 is inscribed in Persian 'likeness of Khan Jahan Afghan'. The emperor Jahangir, for whom it was probably painted, recorded that he regarded Khan Jahan, whose father had also been in royal service, as equal to his own sons. Jahangir gave him sumptuous presents to mark occasions when Khan Jahan was promoted within the imperial administration, or when he led military campaigns. Among these were jewelled daggers of the kind depicted here, in his patka, or sash.
The original painting has been extended.
