Behind him, a young man holds a flywhisk, one of the emblems of royalty, above his head. All the characters are identified by minute Persian inscriptions. On the terrace below the platform, on the left, is the emperor's foster-brother, Qutb al-Din Khan Koka. On the right are Raja Sangram, zamindar of Kharagpur, whose son is the boy holding the fly whisk behind the emperor. Raja Sangram died in 1606. The other figure is Dalpat Ujjainiya, wearing the four-pointed jama fashionable in Akbar's reign. The painting was probably done in the early years of Jahangir's reign, and is attributed to the artist Manohar in the lower border. It was later remounted for an album of Shah Jahan, when the floral borders characteristic of his reign were added. The original album was broken up, and many of the paintings were copied in about 1800.  Lady Wantage bequeathed to the museum loose folios, comprising 17th century court paintings and some of the later copies. These were all believed to be genuine until 1949, when the great Indian scholar Moti Chandra analysed the features of the later copies in his groundbreaking book The Technique of Mughal Painting.","physicalDescription":"Painting, in opaque watercolour and gold on paper, depicting the emperor Jahangir receiving Qutb ad-Din Khan Koka at Lahore.
