This article examines the second period of the creative activity of the prominent representative of the Armenian Diaspora, artist Sarkis Katchadourian (1886–1947). The study presents an analysis of his extensive work on the copying and reconstruction of the murals of the Safavid palatial complexes in Isfahan, including Ali Qapu Palace and Chehel Sotoun Palace, undertaken during his residence in Persia between 1929 and 1933. The research analyzes Katchadourian’s exceptional contribution to the preservation of Iranian cultural heritage and the popularization of Oriental art in Europe and America. Based on archival and documentary evidence, the author proposes a new thesis regarding the identification of an anonymous work held in the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, identifying it as Katchadourian’s reconstruction of the fresco “Khoja Petros’s Feast in the Presence of Shah Abbas.”
