The only signed composition is that on folio 21 *b*, dated 1633-4, which bears the name of Muhammad Khān. The picture is characteristic of Jahāngīr's bibulous court. It represents a young man clad in a bright yellow robe and large green turban, kneeling before a vase of flowers and a golden dish containing four earthenware jars, and engaged in pouring red wine from a jewelled goglet into a cup held in his left hand. No shading is used.
