Description
English: Balchand. The Dying Inayat Khan, ca 1618, Bodleian Library, Oxford. In the upper part above the carpet border there is the inscription in Shah Jahan's hand which reads, shabih-e indyat khdn amal-e balchand ("a picture of Inayat Khan, the work of Balchand"). The inscription has been rubbed out and overpainted and still murky with infrared photography, but computer intensification of a color slide taken in 1976 revealed more of Shah Jahan's hand. Balchand's inscription is on the fold of the white sheet that hangs over the bedpost at the lower left, and it reads, raqm [or 'amal]-e bdlchand band-e dargah ("the work of Balchand the slave of the court")
