The description cannot be correct. It says:

This painting, from an album complied for Shuja al-Dawla, a nawab of Oudh, was produced at the end of the period of Mughal greatness...

And gives a date between 1707-1712 (during the rule of emperor Shah Bahadur). Shuja al-Dawla was not born before 1732, so how could the painting have been commissioned by him? In fact, his grandfather, the first nawab of Oudh, came to power only in 1722. Woudloper (talk) 01:48, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting question. It certainly looks like Aurangzeb as depicted in all his portraits. The description was taken from the source. Gryffindor (talk) 14:49, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
