Afrasiab - a sorcerer and emperor who appears in the Persian epic Shahnameh and later in the Urdu Dastaan and Tilism-e-Hoshruba.
Until 1985, it was thought that all of the paintings in this series had been destroyed, but three have since been discovered and authenticated, those being portraits of Afrasiyab, Genghis Khan, and Kay Khusraw, though the Kay Khusraw portrait does not exist in its full form but has been reduced to only some 80% of its original size.
