The article sets out the theoretical foundations of the concepts of “political portrait” and “historico-political portrait”, and examines the possibilities of their application in studying the personality of the Emir of Bukhara, Said Abdulahad Khan. It is shown that the method of political portraiture serves as a means of bringing into a single system the psychological characteristics of a political leader, his political practice, and the various public perceptions of him. Using the example of Emir Abdulahad Khan, this method is demonstrated through a comparison of the contradictory images formed in the works of Ahmad Donish, Mirzo Salimbek, Sayyid Mansur Olimi, and other authors.
