This portrait was done after Sultan Jamshid had died. We
know this from his halo which was not used to show kings or rulers
in portraits until later.
Jamshid's father lived to be over ninety years
old. His son Jamshid became so impatient to become
ruler that he had his father stabbed to death while he was at prayer in
the mosque!
Here, the innocent-looking Jamshid is painted standing behind a balcony, and posed with his falcon. He wears a white jama with a gold
brocade turban. He is wearing the katar dagger, tucked into a gold
brocaded waist sash, and sword and shield.
