Image title
A river scene with a nobleman in a morpunkhi, with a shrine and travellers. In the middle of the river is a peacock barge in which a wealthy nobleman rides, his flag flying in the stern with the emblem of the double-bladed sword ('zulfiqar') of 'Ali. On the near bank a lady visits a shrine to Siva; on the far bank travellers pass along a road which runs past a staging post and through a village. Note: The nobleman could be Zulfiqar al-Daula Mirza Najaf Khan (d.1782), a Persian who rose to be subadar of Allahabad, and whose emblem as suggested by his title would have been the double-bladed sword.
