From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
This sensitive portrait jewel was probably painted shortly after Shah Jahan came to the throne of the powerful Mughal Empire in 1628 after the death of his father, Jahangir. He decided to wear a full beard, in reference to his increased orthodoxy in comparison to his more liberal father and grandfather. The artist’s signature appears behind Shah Jahan’s nape. This portrait belonged to Cleveland mogul Jeptha H. Wade II, a cofounder of CMA.
