My 8th forefather Dewan Krishnaram Mitra was once called by Emperor Shah Alam II around 1770's to reward him on completion of a special mission. He was rewarded Rs.1 lakh for his financial advisory services to the Mughals and 1 Lakh more later for a special mission. Later my great grandfather made few magnificent temples in terracotta in the village of Antpur.

...an amazing historical connection Shetketu Mitra!...thanks for sharing.

I would suggest iit is a posthumous portrait of Nadir Shah of Iran, perhaps based on an earlier painting in the Bodleian, MS Ouseley Add. 173, f. 29v.
