How do the figures watercolors depicting these Indian rulers compare?

Four men are to his right: the artist himself is at the bottom, King James I from England is next, above him is a Turkish sultan, and closest to Jahangir is a Muslim sufi shaykh. The shaykh is handing something to Jahangir. At the bottom of the throne, two putti are inscribing the hourglass. The second figure is a painting of Maharaja Jaswant Singh. He is seated in a chair next to a small table. The table is covered with a green tablecloth; on top of the table is a book and a vase of flowers.
