The famous Mughal painting, depicting Jahangir embracing the Safavid king Shah Abbas, was painted by which one of the following Mughal painters?

The famous painting depicting Emperor Jahangir embracing the Safavid King Shah Abbas is an allegorical masterpiece by the Mughal artist Abul Hassan (also spelled Abu'l Hasan) [2]. Created around 1618, this watercolor painting symbolizes a dream of friendship between the two empires, despite the fact that the two rulers never actually met in person [2]. Abul Hassan was a favorite imperial artist of Jahangir and was known for his sophisticated court scenes and official portraits. While the painter Bishandas was indeed sent to the Safavid court in Persia to paint lifelike portraits of Shah Abbas and the royal family, those were realistic studies [1]. The specific symbolic and allegorical representation of the two monarchs embracing while standing atop a globe is the work of Abul Hassan [2].
