    he looks rather recent, and well painted.... Can you give us a hint?
    Worst part of trying to express a point is when someone says what you said better and gets praised.

    Timur?
    Whoever he is I somehow doubt it's a authentic portrait, looks somewhat modern to me.

    Fantasy portraits really should be avoided, IMHO.

    I can't see what fun can be had in guessing them.
