From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
The deceptive handmaiden appeals her case to the enthroned king, falsely claiming that the young prince has assaulted her. The prince, dressed in white, is taken away by two armed guards to be executed. Works attributed to the artist Ghulam ‘Ali are found in only one other known manuscript.
