Title: Portrait of Sidi Masud Khan with an Attendant
Notes:

From a description from the Howard Hodgkin collection, "Sidi Masud Khan [was] a habshi (African) minister at the court of Bijapur. Masud Khan remained in power until 1683, not long before Bijapur fell to the Mughals. He then moved to Adoni in the Kurnool district, where he governed for a short time and built a notable mosque."
