Summary

Description
English: Iskandar ibn Qara Yusuf (portrait painted in 1430)
  • "The double-page battle scene in which Ibrahim Sultan, on the right, is shown confidently leading his troops toward a Turkman force, on the left, headed by Iskandar b. Kara Yusuf, who turns back biting his finger in consternation (figs. 3-4). This image is the frontispiece for a copy of Firdawsi's Shāhnāma and is thus not accompanied by any explanatory text, but it does correspond to descriptions of a battle that occurred on April 1429 which are contained in Timurid historical sources. Although neither of these key figures is labeled, each of them would have been recognized by a contemporary viewer because of this event's notoriety." The Theory and Practice of Portraiture in the Persian Tradition, Priscilla Soucek, Muqarnas, Vol. 17 (2000), p.105
