This lithograph, titled Timurlung, depicts Timur, also known as Tamerlane (1336–1405), the Turko-Mongol conqueror and founder of the Timurid Empire. Shown in traditional attire adorned with intricate jewelry, he exudes authority and strength. The artwork portrays him during his brutal 1398 invasion of India, which took place during the reign of Sultan Nasir-Ud-Din Tughlaq of the Delhi Sultanate. His campaign was marked by widespread destruction, mass killings, and extensive looting, leaving a lasting impact on Indian history.
