Iran/ Kuwait: ‘Portrait of a Persian painter’, a painting from Moghal India dated 1600 to 1625 CE. Artist unknown.

In August 1990, this famous painting was among 20,000 pieces of art looted from the Kuwait National Museum and Dar al-Athat al-Islamiyya (House of Islamic Antiquities) when Iraqi forces invaded Kuwait. The painting and 16,000 other pieces from the collections were later recovered from Baghdad.
