This is clearly a painting of Nasser Al-din Shah Qajar, which seems to be located in Malek National Museum in Tehran. This library is one of the biggest libraries of precious manuscripts inside Iran. I didn't find it on the Malek's website, but there are few interesting items in their database. You can click on link 2 to see the Malek Museum's website. [2]
