A small graffito at the bottom of the painting often dubbed “Sermon in a mosque” says that it is his work; he probably also painted the polo scene, which is executed in a similar style. Priscilla Soucek suggested that the main figure in Shaykhzada’s two paintings may represent his patron, perhaps Husayn Khan Shamlu, depicted in both as a mature man with a full mustache." in Blair 2014, p. 239
