&lt;br&gt;A portrait of Emperor Shah-Jahan enthroned.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The emperor is depicted as an elderly man with a long white beard holding prayer beads. The golden throne and footstool are similar in design to the Mughal throne in the Topkapi Palace, said to have been taken from Delhi by Nadir Shah and later presented by him to the Ottoman sultan.&lt;br&gt; 
&lt;br&gt;A (now obscured) inscription above the portrait labels Shah-Jahan as his son Alamgir, which supports the suggestion that the manuscript was assembled into its current form in the 18th century.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; 
&lt;br&gt;Bibliography: &lt;br&gt;Milo Beach and Ebba Koch, &lt;em&gt;King of the world : the Padshahnama, an imperial Mughal manuscript from the Royal Library, Windsor Castle,&lt;/em&gt; 1996 &lt;br&gt;Saqib Baburi, &lt;em&gt;Beyond the Akbarnamah: Padshahnamahs and Official Regnal Chronography for Shah-Jahan Padshah (r. 1037/1628-1068/1658),&lt;/em&gt; 2010.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
