Signed ‘Mihr Chand pasar-i Gangā Rām’ on the lower-right corner. Captioned ‘Mullah Dopiazeh 6’ in Polier's hand underneath the interior applied border. A fictional Mughal-era character of Akbar's court and subject of South Asian comic literature, Mullā Dūpīyāzah's name literally means "double onions", which references a curry sauce made of fresh and fried onions combined. He is frequently depicted riding an emciated horse—a trope ultimatelty derived from medieval Persian satirical literature— together with an emaciated dog. Mihr Chand evidently copied this scene at least twice, from another example preserved in an album that formerly belonged to Jean-Baptiste Gentil now held in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris, Estampes, Réserve Od 60, folio 25a. The other example he completed appears in British Museum 1920,0917,0.140. See Weis and Roy essays.
