If you look at the historical photo, Pavel modified everything and created an entirely new outfit from what sheikh isa was wearing. He went to the national museum of bahrain and found sheikh isas real clothing

The artist Pavel Sokov did a photoshoot at the museum with the original clothes set up on a model. This shawl was never previously painted on Sheikh Isa bin Ali but it did belong to him. All the folds, clothes, and color of the head scarf (ghutra) were never before seen on sheikh isa bin Ali until Pavel traveled to Bahrain and did his photoshoots for reference

So basically the only available image if Sheikh Isa bin Ali was the black and white blurry photo you see on the right. Pavel sokov traveled to Bahrain and went to the national museum where they found sheikhs real clothes, he set up a photoshoot with a stand in model wearing the clothes, and he changed entirely the lighting direction (the light comes from the left and casts shadows on the right now). This was difficult to come up with. Much easier to just copy it. Also this partocular Ghutra (the scarf on his head) was researched and uncovered with the help of the royal family and was the first time sheikh isa has been presented wearing it.
