Notes
According to Reza Kasravi, the inscription on the item is a poem which is partly from Sa‘di and partly from Nasir al-Din Shah. Next to the drawing is the handwriting of Husayn I‘timad al-Saltanah which reads: “this is a painting by Nasir al-Din Shah; Husayn I‘timad al-Saltanah.” On the lower left there is an upside-down inscription of Sulayman Khan. On the back of the drawing there is another piece of handwriting by Husayn I‘timad al-Saltanah which reads: “this is handwriting and a painting by Nasir al-Din Shah; Husayn I‘timad al-Saltanah”.
