Just got a note from our intrepid Infidel at Large Mighty Like A Rose. SHe sent a note to the artist herself and got a reply today.
They're trees.
The Note:
Hi ------,
Sorry for such a late reply. This is Farideh Lashai's assistant. We think that the year of the work is 1999, They are abstract trees. It was exhibited at tehran museum of Contemporary art, and since Farideh Lashai's works have been included in many international exhibitions, including "Iran Inside Out" at Chelsea Museum in NY. She does not sell prints of her works. Please let me know if you need any further information onher work.
Best regards,
Nazanin

I think weazel zippers is making the wrong assumption here. I do not think it is a portrait of the World Trade Towers. I have written Mr. Krause and asked if he knew the paintings subject and title. Hopefully he will answer. Until then, based on what I have seen of Ms. Lashai's paintings, some of which are displayed on her site, I do not think this is the WTT. I will let you know if Mr. Krause can/does shed some light.
Sounds reasonable, but let us look at a couple of Farideh Lashai's other painting:
