Qajar Persia, dated AH 1269/AD 1852-53

The inscription reads: farmayesh-e 'alijah Ibrahim bayg tofang-dar va raqam-e kamtarin muhammad isma'il isfahani dar 1269, 'The order of His Exalted Ibrahim Bayg, the gun-bearer, and the work of the most humble, Muhammad Isma'il Isfahani in 1269 (1852-3).'

Muhammad Isma'il is one of the most famous Qajar court painters, who received the title naqqash-bashi (Chief Painter) from Nasir al-Din Shah in around 1858 and whose recorded works are dated between AH 1256/AD 1840-41 and AH 1288/AD 1871-72).
