Created between 1642 and 1678, the artwork features a detailed portrait of the Sultan, showcasing his ornate attire and a regal air, while the inclusion of the Sultan's coat of arms and the inscription "Avec Privilège du Roy" (with the privilege of the King) highlights the significance of the piece and the political climate of the time.
