View of original photographer based upon inscription on the margin of the painting: Painting of a Sikh guru inscribed with the following description, 'A Sikh who came with offerings to get the Darshan (blessed vision) of Guru Arjan Dev at Dera [encampment] Kartarpur' [the Kartarpur located in present-day Jalandhar district], circa 17th century. Guru Arjan Dev holding a Darbar at Kartarpur, circa 17th-18th century (possibly contemporary). "It doesn’t exactly look like guru hargobind, the nose and the broad chest and large size is what the depictions show as guru hargobind. All the paintings also show guru hargobind quite large compared to every other person shown. This painting shows a figure who has a completely different body size, nose and beard. At the end of the day, the painting could have been made during guru hargobinds time to depict his father… also guru hargobind never wore earrings and is never seen in paintings wearing them, he enjoyed doing grappling and wrestling so he didn’t wear them" "It says under the painting it’s Guru Arjan holding a diwan at Kartarpur.
