I am not sure of this painting but it could be Akbar and one of his concubinesNone of Akbar's wife will dare wear such a dress Akbar shall not allow at allAnyways wives of Mughal emperors never posed for portrait the emperor gave a description of wife and painter paintedNo wife can go in front of painter without burqah so this if its real painting is an cocubbine only or maidRoyal woman shall have protocol and painter will not pain like that neither will their male member ask for such a painting
