The piece was named Diriyah Star Night.

So far, the piece of art has been sold twice, the first in 2018, and a businessman from Saudi Arabia bought it for $2.5 million, before it was even finished.

Until a Saudi businesswoman bought it from a businessman for $3.2 million after the piece arrived in Riyadh.

The Star Knight shield plate is now considered one of the most expensive pieces in the world, after the Star Knight plate, was reworked.

Van Gogh whose drawings include some of the most famous, popular, and most expensive pieces in the world was one of the leading post-Impressionist painters.

Widely regarded as Van Gogh's magnum opus, the Starry Night is one of the most recognized paintings in the Western art scene.

Painted in June 1889, it has been in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City since 1941 after it was acquired from the Lillie P. Bliss Bequest.

The painting depicts the view from a window of his asylum room at Saint-Rémy-de-Provence in France, just before sunrise, with the addition of an imaginary village.
