Portrait of Timur (d.1405), as commissioned by his grandson Ibrahim Sultan in the 1436 Zafarnama.

Timur died in 1405. The first known portraits of him date to 1436, when his grandson Ibrahim Sultan (who had known his grandfather Timur until the age of 10), commissioned the 1436 Zafarnama, a panageric work with numerous depictions of Timur, but also a few depictions of his queen Saray Mulk Khanum and his sons Shah Rukh and Miran Shah. A second Zafarnama in known, the Zafarnama of Sultan Husayn, from his great-great-grandson Husayn Bayqara, dated to 1467–8. Several contemporary portraits of Timurs descendants are also known throughout the 15th century, such as those of Husayn Bayqara himself.
Many later imaginary and highly fantasy depictions of Timur were made in the centuries thereafter (see Later portraits of Timur).
