AN IMPORTANT OIL ON CANVAS PORTRAIT OF NASER AL-DIN SHAH, SIGNED BY MIRZA JAFFAR
This is a masterful oil on canvas portrait of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, one of Persiaââ¬â¢s most iconic monarchs, rendered by the renowned artist Mirza Jafar, a distinguished student of the Dar ul-Fonoon art school in the 19th century.
