Zulkifli Yusoff is a latter-day Daumier, known for his "Brave New Art" using stylized caricatures to comment on the socio-political events of the day. He often takes recourse to traditional Malay folklore and literature as moral lessons in his works. This work—an offshoot of his highly provocative Power Series on the use and abuse of power and political shenanigans—is drawn from the Sejarah Melayu, centering on the courtship of Puteri Gunung Ledang by Sultan Mahmud of Malacca.
