The illustration is one of fifty-five dispersed folios from a Shahnama thought to have been commissioned by the Safavid ruler Shah Isma'il II (r. 1576–77). Siyavush, the painter of this work, worked in the royal atelier of Shah Isma'il’s father Shah Tahmasp and continued to work at the Safavid court after Shah Tahmasp’s death.
