After being deposed, he is known to have requested the support of the Safavid Empire ruler Abbas II. He visited Isfahan in 1647, and his visit is recorded in a frescoe at the Chehel Sotoun Palace, where his delegation is seen facing the court of Abbas II.[1][2] The painting is dated to 1666 at the latest (when it was mentioned by Jean Chardin during a visit in Isfahan), so was made shortly after Nadr Muhammad Khan's visit.[1]
