Portrait

The portrait of Timur in the article infobox has a few problems
1. Colour, the image is black and white and you can see the glare of light.
2. The claim that the image is from a timurid era manuscript would make the image more preferable except that the file description says it's probably a copy of an original. plus miniatures or manuscripts of the time would probably have been coloured in the way a Persian Miniature is coloured.
3. This image is a bit dull and not quite "good looking", though it's satisfactory

So i was thinking we could use the image to the right. It's coloured, good quality, artistic, and visually pleasing (could use some cropping). ANYTHING other than the current article portrait!
