Answer:  1611–1626
Muhammad Qutb Shah ruled during the period 1611–1626.

There is a portrait of Muhammad Qutb Shah (1611–1626) as he sits on a diwan early in his reign. He wears this typical Golconda dress and an elegant tight-fitting cap. The composition has gained increased sophistication and skill, while the strict symmetry of the 1590 pages is retained. One may say there is adequate reference to Mughal painting. We see a marked plastic rendering, especially, in the drape of the courteseans’ and the groom’s attire.
