The inscription says that the picture was a gift to a Raja and names the Artist as Fazl and the date as 1770 VS. Zalam Singh was the son of Bijay Singh. Upon the death of his father in 1793, the throne was taken over by Bijay's grandson Bhim Singh and Zalam was forced to retire in Udaipur where he spent the rest of his life devoting himself to literature (Crill 1999, p.109).
